Technology for Creating a Network of Deep Bed Penetration Filtration Channels

01.12.2014

The technology for creating a network of deep bed penetration filtration channels is based on setting up a system of radial deep bed penetration filtration channels in the existing wells in the production interval to increase the area of filtration of formation fluids to the well bore.

The technology is an alternative to sidetracking with ultra-short kick-off radius and is aimed at:

  • improving the hydrodynamic connectivity between the well and the producing reservoir;
  • increasing the reduced well radius;
  • ensuring the connectivity between the well bore and the remote zones of the formation.

Radial Drilling Services (US) is a pioneer and the only company today to have the license to this technology. The outcome of the usage of the radial drilling technique around the world (including Russia) showed, on average, two-fold production increase at 75% success rate.
