Literature Review of Horizontal Gas Well Completion Technology. Topical Report,May-December 1993

摘要

The Gas Research Institute has been sponsoring a research project aimed at theuse of horizontal well technology in the development of natural gas reservoirs. In order to better define the level of experience within the industry for drilling horizontal gas wells, a search of the available literature was conducted to identify technical articles and reports that have been published related to the subject. This report provides the results of the literature review. We have complied a list of over 1500 technical articles and reports related to horizontal wells. We have read and annotated over 200 papers that were felt to be pertinent to developing gas reservoirs using horizontal well technology. Both sets of references are provided in the report. In addition, a discussion is provided that summarizes the most important observations and results determined from the literature review.
