Abstract

Production enhancement and ultimate recovery improvement have given horizontal wells the edge over vertical wells in<br>many marginal reservoirs. However, it is more expensive to drill and complete a horizontal well than a vertical one.<br>Therefore, to determine the economical feasibility of drilling a horizontal well, engineers need reliable methods to estimate<br>its productivity.
