A Case Study: Successful well trajectory planningOf a Horizontal Injector using 3D Geostatistics and 3DVisualization on S.M.A.R.T. Drilling Technologies AEC GrandePrairie Halfway V Oil Reservoir, Alberta, Canada

摘要

A 3D earth model has, rapidly and successfully, detailed a map of the reservoir forhorizontal drilling. The designed trajectory was closely followed, resulting in a successful well withearly cleanup oil flow rates prior to injection test of 89 m3/d (600 BOPD) and a stable water injectionrate of 230 m3/d (1450 BWPD).The prediction capability of the 3D mapping and characterization provides a viable method forreducing risk while optimizing well placement.
