Abstract


As it is known, the main advantage of horizontal wells, compared with vertical ones, is an increase in flow rate due to the expansion of the drainage area and an increase in the filtration area [4]. A number of uncertainties and risks arise when drilling GS. One of these factors is the uncertainty of the angle of occurrence of the structure. It has a significant impact on the efficiency of horizontal shaft penetration. The paper considers the problem of uncertainty of the angles of incidence when accompanied by horizontal wells. Practical examples of well wiring in such conditions are also described.

Key words:

horizontal well, angle of incidence of formations, risks and uncertainties, geological model
