Complications in the construction of horizontal wells

The article describes in detail the main problems faced by specialists in the construction of horizontal wells, including tacks of drilling tools, GNVP, absorption of drilling flushing fluid and violation of the stability of the walls of the well. The importance of applying innovative solutions and technologies at all stages of construction to overcome these problems is emphasized, attention is paid to the need for precise control of the well profile, the use of special compositions of flushing liquids and improvement of drilling techniques to ensure high-quality cleaning of the wellbore and avoid undesirable consequences such as reservoir flooding. The article demonstrates the complexity and at the same time the prospects of horizontal drilling for the oil and gas production industry.
