Horizontal multifractured wells are exploiting oil resources previously thought uneconomic.  They are also bringing new life to old reservoirs.

However flooding with multifractured wells is a tough challenge.  Planning a flood from the first horizontal well can pay big dividends in oil recovery.

The same multi-fractures that cause great production rates also may short circuit flood patterns as shown in several recently failed floods.

Imagine starting a flood only to find that the production wells water out within a few months.

Horizontal multifractured wells are currently a big trend in oil and gas production in Western Canada, with many companies drilling nothing but this type of well.

If you would like to know more about flooding pools with directional permeability and multifractures, call Proven Reserves at 403-803-2500.
