Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a device for producing fluids or gases from a horizontal well.
- Horizontal well production was initially expected to exceed production of vertical wells due to a larger surface area of the formation penetrated by the horizontally extending production hole. A greater exposure to the formation through long production zones was believed to increase production linearly. However, in practice this was not the case, since a greater recovery was experienced at the heel of the production hole while less production took place at the toe.
- this "toe to heel" effect provides for a much stronger oil production at the heel of the horizontal well, i.e. where the horizontal well extends in a curved shape into the vertical well, than at the toe, i.e. the distal end of the horizontal well.
- the stronger oil production at the heel leads to a higher risk of water coning in this region and at the same time reduces the production of oil or gas from the toe due to inefficient stimulation and/or high pressure drop when fluid moves from toe to heel. If due to a high production rate at a certain area of the well, water coning occurs, the oil or gas volume is locally exhausted and water is produced instead.
- At least one of the problems is solved by a method for producing fluids or gases from a horizontal well according to claim 1 and a device for producing fluids or gases from a horizontal well according to claim 9.
- a method for producing fluids or gases from a horizontal well comprising the steps of providing a horizontal well having a horizontal production openhole, dividing the horizontal production openhole into at least two separate compartments by means of blockers, providing for each separate compartment at least one production string, and passing fluid or gas from each compartment to the surface via the corresponding production strings.
- this single production string only leaves one point for flow withdrawal and control.
- a lower intake pressure of the production tubing will result in an increased production at the heel, as already mentioned, but will not significantly affect the production at areas in direction to the toe of the production tubing.
- the present method enables, by means of the separate
- each compartment and the separate production strings for each compartment of the horizontal well, the parallel production or flow of oil or gas from the overall horizontal production openhole. In general, this leads to a significantly reduced “toe to heel” effect.
- the production of each compartment is in principle independent of the production of the other compartments. Thus, the production rate for each
- compartment of the horizontal well can be controlled individually. This allows to manage or avoid water coning and increases the incremental production for each segment. Further, full toe accessibility of the horizontal well is provided, which increases the overall well productivity.
- the accessibility, in particular of longer horizontal wells is increased.
- an adequate intake pressure can be provided, e.g. by controlling the respective choke of this production string, irrespective of the location in the horizontal well.
- the application of individual production strings for each compartment leads to less congested areas and reduces the anti-collision risk and the overall well costs by reducing well count.
- the present method provides future opportunities for optimizing production configurations of horizontal wells especially in tight formations and/or long horizontal drains.
- the method further comprises the step of controlling the production flow rate of fluid or gas of each compartment individually. Because of controlling each compartment individually multiple points for flow rate control are provided. Thus, the production can be adjusted individually for each compartment for example based on the geological conditions at or around each compartment.
- a higher production flow rate can be adjusted than in regions with a small volume while keeping the overall oil or gas distribution in the formation uniformly.
- the production flow rates can be adjusted with regard to the oil or gas permeability of the formation or formations.
- the step of controlling the production flow rate of each individual production string includes a simultaneous, or non-simultaneous, passing of fluid or gas from all compartments to the surface.
- the step of controlling the production flow rate of each individual production string includes the step of adjusting the flow rates according to an estimated volume of fluid or gas in the formation, or formations, adjacent to the respective compartment.
- the oil or gas volume in the formation generates a (liquid) resistance against the water in the formations above and below which like to enter into the oil or gas formations.
- the step of controlling the production flow rate of each individual production string includes the step of adjusting the flow rates such that water coning is managed or avoided.
- the individual controlling enables the formation of oil or gas volumes comprising essentially the same size at/around each compartment. Further, if water enters into one compartment of the well and into the respective production string, production from this compartment and string can be stopped without effecting production from other compartments and respective strings.
- water coning is managed or avoided, in particular at compartments in formation regions with only small volumes of oil or gas. Because water coning is managed or avoided the produced oil or gas in the production tubing is not contaminated with water from formations above or below. The oil or gas can be further processed easily which makes the well more profitable.
- control of the production flow rate of each individual production string provides an overall control and management or avoidance of water coning that results in a lost well in particular when high permeability zones for water exist at the heel.
- the method further comprises the step of injecting an injection liquid, or gas, simultaneously, or non-simultaneously, into all compartments or into one compartment after the other according to a certain timely pattern, via corresponding injection strings of each compartment.
- the injection of the injection liquid or gas under high pressure into the formation around the horizontal openhole stimulates, or enhances, the production of oil or gas from the formation. Because of this stimulation or fracking smaller oil or gas volumes agglomerate, discharge from the formation and can penetrate the horizontal production openhole.
- the injection strings can be used as production strings.
- the controlled injection into each compartment provides for an effective, uniform and better stimulation.
- the method further comprises the steps of inserting a metal tube into the horizontal well for providing an outer shell of the openhole, preferably cementing an area around the metal tube, and providing a porous structure in the metal tube, preferably by igniting an explosive charge inside the openhole of the horizontal well.
- the metal tube and the optional cement cylinder at the outer circumference of the well support the well and provide stability. Furthermore, the clean surface of the metal tube facilitates the arrangement of the production strings and blockers.
- the porous structure is characterized by small holes through which oil or gas from the formation around the horizontal production openhole can penetrate into the production openhole, whereas formation particles are essentially prevented from getting into the production openhole. As a result, more or less pure oil or gas passes the production openhole to the surface. Thereby, clogging due to large formation particles in the production openhole is avoided.
- the step of controlling the production flow rate of fluid or gas of each compartment individually is done by means of at least one flow control device of at least one of the compartments, and/or at least one flow control device of at least one of the strings, and /or at least one sensor of at least one of the strings, and/or a downhole processor of at least one of the strings, and/ or a communication capability of at least one of the strings, for communicating with a remote location.
- a fluid or gas production device for horizontal fluid or gas wells comprising a horizontal well having a production openhole, at least one blocker inside the production openhole for dividing the production openhole into individual compartments, and at least two individual production strings, of which at least one is extending inside the production openhole from the surface to one of the compartments with at least one production string individually for each compartment.
- the at least one blocker divides the production openhole into individual compartments such that a production or production flow rate of one compartment does not affect the production of any other compartment.
- the horizontal production openhole is, thus, divided into several individual production areas. Thereby, a separate individual production string for each compartment, i.e. production area, enables the
- each individual production string is connected to a choke, for individually controlling the production flow rate of fluid or gas for each compartment.
- a choke for individually controlling the production flow rate of fluid or gas for each compartment.
- the production flow rate can be controlled easily and individually. Thereby, the production flow rate can be adjusted continuously and timely according to actual needs.
- each blocker is impermeable for the fluid or gas and can be positioned freely along the length of the production openhole or casing.
- the blockers are preferably swellable blockers. Because each blocker in the installed state is
- each individual production string extend through the respective blocker or blockers and the respective blocker seals the pass of each production string against the fluid or gas.
- each individual production string can also be used as an injection string for injecting an injection liquid or gas from the surface to the corresponding compartment.
- the dual use of the production strings as injection strings for fracking and later as production strings saves space in the production openhole and costs and facilitates the overall fluid and gas production device. Furthermore, the individual injection of injection liquid or gas into each compartment provides for a controlled injection, e.g. with regards to applied pressure and/or volume of the injection liquid or gas. Thereby, different formation conditions at each compartment can be taken into account and an effective application of injection liquid or gas can be provided.
- the production openhole further comprises a permeable outer shell to allow the fluid or gas to penetrate from the formation, or formations, into the production openhole, wherein preferably the outer shell is made of a metal tube and preferably a cement layer, which have a porous structure.
- the metal tube and the optional cement cylinder at the outer circumference of the well support the well and provide stability. Furthermore, the clean surface of the metal tube facilitates the arrangement of the production strings and blockers.
- the production strings are made of a flexible and durable material, allowing to be bent from the vertical well to the horizontal production openhole and to endure high pressures of the fluid, gas and/or injection liquid, gas piped through.
- a flexible production string allows for a complete insertion of the whole string from the surface into the production openhole, without any connection steps or connection devices inside the well.
- the compartments include at least one flow control device.
- the string includes at least one flow control device, and preferably the string includes at least one sensor.
- the string includes a downhole processor and preferably the string includes a communication capability for communicating with a remote location.

- Fig. 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a fluid or gas production device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the region denoted by reference sign 106 represents the earth's surface and the region below surface 106 including formation, or formations, 104 is a subsurface region.
- This subsurface region comprises several different layers of formation (not explicitly shown), mainly extending in a horizontal direction, like oil or gas containing formation 104 in Fig. 1.
- formation 104 contains oil or gas 100, 102.
- the oil or gas 100, 102 is available in the form of small droplets directly embedded in the structure of formation 104.
- formation 104 may have a rather small vertical extension but a wide horizontal extension.
- oil or gas 100, 102 production by means of a common vertical well 18 is less economical here and hence a horizontal well 10 is used in formation 104. It is to be noted that also more than one formation 104 may occur at an oil or gas 100, 102 production site. Different formation 104 layers containing oil or gas 100, 102 may be present at different depths.
- a well is shown in Fig. 1 comprising a vertical well 18 and a horizontal well 10.
- the vertical well 18 is drilled down by common drilling techniques to a depth above the formation 104 layer.
- the vertical well 18 is extended in a curved way until it becomes a horizontal well 10.
- the transition zone between the curved path of the well or production openhole and the horizontal production openhole 20 is called “heel” 24.
- the distal end of the horizontal production openhole 20 is called “toe" 26.
- the horizontal well 10 may be open to sediment 104.
- the course of horizontal well 10 does not need to be strictly horizontal in a mathematical way, but may provide some uphill slopes and descents.
- the horizontal well 10 is arranged at a horizontal center line of formation 104 following its course in a horizontal direction. This would provide a uniform distribution of the oil or gas volume in formation 104 around the horizontal production openhole 20. In practice, however, the extend of formation 104 around the horizontal production openhole 20 differs along the length of the openhole leading to different distributions of oil or gas 100, 102.
- the diameter of the well 10, 18 is between 100 mm to 800 mm.
- the diameter of each production string 50, 52 is significantly smaller than the diameter of the production hole 20 such that one or multiple production strings 50, 52 can be inserted or arranged into one production openhole 20.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic drawing only, not all possible production strings are shown and only two production strings are shown extending to surface 106. In practice, however, every production string will extend from the horizontal production openhole 20 to surface 106 for individual oil or gas recovery.
- Each production string 50, 52 ends in one of the compartments 30, 32 and comprises an open end such that oil or gas 100, 102 discharged from formation 104 can enter a production string 50, 52 and flow to the surface.
- the volume of oil or gas 100, 102 flowing through a production string 50, 52 can be given by the production flow rate 54, 56 that can be measured by commonly known measurement instruments on the surface 106, e.g. at chokes 60, 62.
- the compartments may include at least one flow control device.
- the production strings 50, 52 may include at least one flow control device.
- pressure or temperature of the oil or gas the strings 50, 52 may include a corresponding sensor (not shown).
- the strings 50, 52 may include a downhole processor and preferably the strings 50, 52 include a communication capability for communicating with a remote location, preferably at surface level.
- the controlling of the production flow rate 54, 56 can be performed by means of the mentioned chokes 60, 62, wherein each choke is connected to exactly one production string.
- the chokes 60, 62 are preferably arranged at the surface 106.
- the operation of multiple or all chokes may be controlled by one choke controlling unit (not shown).
- the intake pressure of a production string 50, 52 can be generated by means of a pump or arises from the pressure of the oil or gas 100, 102 discharging from formation 104.
- the application of fracking techniques might increase the fluid or gas pressure in formation 104.
- the produced oil or gas 100, 102 passing the choke 60, 62 of the respective production string 50, 52 is then passed via a pipeline to further production units for further processing (not shown).
- Fig. 2 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the horizontal production openhole 20 according to the present invention.
- the horizontal production openhole 20 is positioned in formation 104 containing oil and/or gas 100, 102.
- the toe region is depicted on the right-hand side in Fig. 2 and the heel region is at the left hand side of Fig. 2, where the curved path of the production openhole connecting the vertical well 18 (upwards) and the horizontal well 10 is shown.
- the outer circumference of the horizontal production openhole 20 may comprise a metal tube 12 and optionally a cement layer in an area 14 between the metal tube 12 and formation 104.
- the metal tube 12 and the optional cement area 14 comprise a porous structure 16, i.e. they comprise fractures or small holes that enable oil or gas 100, 102 to penetrate into the horizontal production openhole 20.
- metal tube 12 may already comprise such small holes or get these holes because of an intended explosion inside the horizontal production openhole 20.
- this explosion will generate small cracks or fractures in the optional cement area 14 such that it gets a porous structure 16 as well.
- the porous outer shell 22, comprising the perforated metal tube 12 and optionally the porous cement area 14, will prevent larger formation 104 particles from getting into the horizontal production openhole 20.
- the tubing maybe initially slotted, e.g. a slotted liner, with no need for cementing or perforation.
- the horizontal production openhole 20 is divided into compartments 30, 32 by means of fluid and/ or gas impermeable blockers 40, 42.
- an arbitrary number of blockers 40, 42 can be arranged at equal or non-equal distances to each other.
- the positioning of the blockers 40, 42 may be performed for example according to formation 104 characteristics of the oil/gas 100, 102 volume in a region.
- These blockers 40, 42 also provide support for the production strings 50, 52 passing therethrough.
- the blockers are swellable and are made of an elastic material such that they seal each compartment in the fully swollen state at their outer circumference.
- oil or gas 100 discharges from formation 104 into the production openhole 20 at compartment 30.
- Oil or gas 102 enters into compartment 32.
- the lower pressure in production openhole 20 may be generated by a pump, preferably positioned at surface 106 or below surface, or due to a higher pressure on the oil or gas 100, 102 in formation 104 compared to the pressure in each compartment 30, 32 of horizontal production openhole 20.
- the oil or gas 100, 102 pressure in formation 104 maybe increased by an application of fracking techniques. A higher oil or gas 100, 102 pressure may lead to higher production flow rates 54, 56 and may, thus, increase overall production efficiency.
- the production flow rate for each compartment 30, 32 can be individually controlled by corresponding individual chokes 60, 62 for each individual production string 50, 52.
- the production flow rate 54, 56 in one compartment 30, 32 can be decreased to zero, if needed, for example if water enters this compartment. Further, the production may be started or increased again at a later point in time by simply opening the choke 60, 62 again.
- By individually controlling the production flow rate 54, 56 of each compartment 30, 32 an essentially even distributed oil or gas 100, 102 volume in formation 104 around the horizontal production openhole 20 can be achieved. Because of this even distribution of oil or gas 100, 102, no or delayed water coning occurs.
- a large volume of oil or gas 100, 102 in formation 104 can be discharged into horizontal production openhole 20 before a significant amount of water will penetrate into the openhole 20 and the well has to be abandoned. This increases the productivity of a horizontal well significantly.
- Fig. 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a fluid or gas production device 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Therein, a first
- compartment 30 is formed in the production openhole 20 between a first blocker 40 and a second blocker 42.
- Each blocker may comprise multiple sections that further may be spaced apart to each other as can be seen for example at blocker 42.
- a second compartment 32 is formed between the toe 26 of the horizontal production openhole 20 and blocker 42.
- Oil or gas 100, 102 discharging from formation 104 can penetrate the horizontal production openhole 20 along the dotted line in Fig. 1.
- the oil or gas 100, 102 in each of the first or second compartment 30, 32 will then pass through the respective first or second production string 50, 52 to the surface.
- the first production string 50 can also be arranged in the vertical well 18, however, nevertheless it will only get oil or gas 100, 102 from formation 104 in the horizontal production openhole 20.
- oil or gas 100, 102 can be produced simultaneously, or non-simultaneously, from both compartments 30, 32 in the horizontal production openhole 20.
- the long string 52 can be divided into multiple sections, preferably two or more sections. In Fig. 3, it is divided into two sections, a lower and an upper section. The lower section in this figure is equipped with a perforated joint to allow for gas or oil 100 to be produced from string 50.
- Fig. 4 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a fluid or gas production device 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Therein, a first
- compartment 30 is formed in the production openhole 20 between a first blocker 40 and a second blocker 42. Each blocker may comprise multiple sections that further may be spaced apart to each other.
- a second compartment 32 is formed between the toe 26 of the horizontal production openhole 20 and blocker 42.
- Oil or gas 100, 102 discharging from formation 104 can penetrate the horizontal production openhole 20 along the dotted line in Fig. 4.
- the oil or gas 100, 102 in each of the first or second compartment 30, 32 will then pass through the respective first or second production string 50, 52 to the surface.
- the first production string 50 can also be arranged in the vertical well 18, however, nevertheless it will only get oil or gas 100, 102 from formation 104 in the horizontal production openhole 20.
- oil or gas 100, 102 can be produced simultaneously, or non-simultaneously, from both compartments 30, 32 in the horizontal production openhole 20.
