Analytical Model for Predicting Productivity of Radial-Lateral Wells

An analytical model for predicting the productivity of Radial-lateral wells (RLW) drilled using radial jet drilling technology was developed in this work. The model assumes uniformly distributed equal-geometry laterals draining oil or gas under pseudo-steady state flow conditions within the lateral-...
