| Abstract | The National Iranian South Oil Co., Ahwaz, Iran, has applied horizontal drilling technology to the country's carbonate and sandstone reservoirs to increase recoverable reserves, well productivity, and production efficiency. A review of well productivity and production history, as well as drilling related events, indicated that horizontal wells are more appropriate for the upper reservoir. Vertical wells should remain the completion of choice for the lower reservoir, II(sub)2. When reviewing reservoirs that are under natural depletion and natural flow, engineers must consider all aspects of well productivity, related not only to the wellbore configuration within the reservoir, productivity index, and formation damage but also wellbore hydraulics and possible use of artificial lift. |
