Applying geological and mathematical modeling to predict fluid influx in horizontal wells (the case of Kalamkas oil field)

Abstract

One of the ways to increase well oil production is to reduce the filtration resistance of the bottom-hole zone. Along with well-known stimulation methods, such as modern methods of treating wells bottom-hole zone, side tracking (drilling of lateral horizontal boreholes) is of great interest. The following works have been implemented Kalamkas field: a complex of geological, geophysical and field exploration; correlation schemes to track the lithology of the formation; clarifying structural maps and engineering maps; justifying activities to select one or more wells for horizontal drilling; hydrodynamic calculations and estimating their flow rate.
