Abstract The study proposes an analytical method for calculating the productivity of horizontal wells in a line-drive development pattern in fields with oil rims. The paper presents an analysis of existing techniques and compares them with the results of detailed numerical experiments. It also shows the limited applicability of existing techniques. On the basis of the obtained solution of a single-phase flow equation for a line-drive pattern of horizontal wells, an analytical formula was obtained which more accurately describes the productivity of wells beyond the limits of applicability of existing methods. The resulting formula is in good agreement with the results of a detailed numerical experiment.

Drag reducing polymers (DRP) is one of drag reducer types that is widely used in industry as an additive to improve fluid flow efficiency in pipes. This study is conducted to analyze the parameters that influence the efficiency of DRP through developing equation model, and to see the phenomenon of drag reduction that occurs in fluid flow through computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation. The data used are obtained from experiments by Vancko (1997) for a single phase flow of water. As for two-phase annular flow, four experiments data are used namely by Vancko (1997), Al-Sarkhi and Hanratty (2001a,b) and Fernandes et al. (2004). Parameters such as fluid velocity and pipe diameter are analyzed based on the model equations proposed in this study. The final single phase flow equation model as the output of this study gives a value for onset drag reduction i.e 4.00 with an error up to 18%. While the proposed annular flow equation with and without drag reduction effect is only suitable when the condition of fluid film distribution is uniform and symmetrical with the error around 20%, i.e. for smaller diameter pipes. The CFD simulation results shows a change in the fluid velocity profile; becoming more parabolic, indicating an increase in the mean fluid velocity up to 0.43%, as the effect of DRP.

This study constitutes an experimental and numerical investigation into the single-phase flow of liquid–liquid mixtures and of water in uniform, converging and diverging microchannels. The experimental results for the pressure drop in three microchannels show good agreement with both theoretical predictions and CFD simulation results. The numerical velocity profiles in microchannels are also presented and show excellent agreement with the analytical velocity profiles. In addition, the pressure distribution prediction for the converging and diverging microchannels is also consistent with that obtained through the CFD results.
