Abstract

Abstract The Austin Chalk is a laterally partitioned reservoir. Horizontal wells penetrate additional partitions that are not produced from vertical wells. The horizontal well data presented in this paper shows that these horizontal wells have currently out produced vertical wells by a factor of five, and additional production is expected. Values consistent with pressure transient testing and core analysis are used to simulate vertical and horizontal wells, and to gain insight into the reservoir mechanisms. Rate derivative curves are used to better understand simulator results.
