Reservoir Engineering
Horizontal and Multilateral Wells: Analysis and Design
Horizontal and multilateral wells now feature heavily in new developments and redevelopments, and can greatly improve project economics when chosen well. This course covers how to screen and select candidates using geological, reservoir and production inputs, and how to predict and diagnose the performance of these complex wells. It addresses both conventional and unconventional resources.
