ABSTRACT
well
-path design and the effective wellbore placement in the reservoir. Significant
incremental value can be obtained by increasing the precision of
well
placements within or
across stratigraphic lobes and by positioning the wells relative to fluid contacts. Four
main factors that significantly impact the success of these
types
of wells are (1)
geologic uncertainty, (2) borehole-position uncertainty, (3) unanticipated buildup rates
and doglegs, and (4) communication and understanding between the geologist and the
directional driller.
