Pressure as an Indicator for Water Breakthrough for Horizontal Well Completion

This report basically discusses the preliminary research done and basic understanding of the
chosen topic, which is study focus on pressure profile for a horizontal well. The objective of
this project is to develop intelligent oil wells that can detect water from up to several hundred
metres away and react before it contaminates production and focus on pressure profile for
horizontal well. The method in this project is to make reservoir simulation by looking the
pressure profile at each segment. The simulation of this type of basic case reservoir will be
taken and the comparison between the actual data will be taken and it show that the segment
pressure drop exhibit declining slope profile at the port of water breakthrough and at the same
time , at the segment away from water breakthrough exhibit inclining pressure profile. The
result from this simulation show that the segment pressure drop exhibit declining slope profile
at the part of water breakthrough and at the same time, at the segment away from water
breakthrough, exhibit declining pressure profile. From this project, it can conclude that SPRD
can be used as an indicator of water breakthrough for horizontal well.
