Abstract

The production performance of horizontal wells under simultaneous gas-cap and bottom-water drive was investigated using Hele-Shaw model. The model contains two plexiglass plates 40cm high and 120cm long having 0.04cm capillary space. Video and still photography were used to track the movement of the water-oil and gas-oil interfaces. The results showed that better well performance was obtained at higher gas-oil and water-oil interfaces.
