oa Application of Horizontal-Branched Wells in Complicated Geological Conditions

The carnet level of novel technologies for oil fields development is sufficiently high. The common world practice includes oil reservoir water flooding, chemical and thermal EOR, miscible/immisible oil displacement - injection of hydrocarbon gases, carbon dioxide etc. In the practical development of heavy oil fields, thermal drive plays an especial role. However, this is a common knowledge, that even the application of high efficient EOR/IOR technologies for oil fields development using vertical wells does not enable to achieve the final oil recovery for more than 40-50% of the estimated reserves.
