Recently, the economic feasibility of drilling a horizontal well improved drastically due to advances in drilling technology. Advantages of horizontal wells over vertical well applications have been confirmed by many scientists(1-4) and operators(5-7). Horizontal wells showed many distinct advantages over vertical ones such as improvement of well productivity, attenuation of sand production, an...

This is a summary of state of the art horizontal well technology and a review of the economic benefits of horizontal wells. The paper describes various reservoir applications of horizontal wells from primary recovery to EOR applications. The paper includes field examples of different applications. . Although horizontal wells have been drilled as early as 1927, the major thrust of drilling horiz...

The main challenge in deviated and horizontal well drilling is hole cleaning, which involves the removal of drill cuttings maintaining a clean borehole. Insufficient cleaning can lead to issues such as stuck pipe incidents, lost circulation, slow rate penetration (ROP), difficult tripping operations, poor cementing, formation damage. advancements real-time evaluation for complex wells also trou...

Proper analysis of building energy performance requires selecting appropriate models for handling complicated calculations. Machine learning has recently emerged as a promising effective solution solving this problem. The present study proposes novel integrative machine model predicting two parameters residential buildings, namely annual thermal demand (DThE) and weighted average discomfort deg...
