Modeling Formation Damage and Completion Geometry in the Gyda Reservoir

This study concerns the mature Gyda reservoir, where some recent production wells have underperformed relative to equivalent initial wells.

This study concerns the mature Gyda reservoir, where some recent production wells have underperformed relative to equivalent initial wells. In particular, a sidetrack to an early successful well had very poor performance on initial startup. Subsequently, the geometry of both the original well and the sidetrack was simulated. In the original well, an attempted hydraulic fracture was assumed to have failed.
