Magnetic guidance drilling technology is use of magnetic guidance instrument measuring the distance between the signal source and the location of the instrument, and it is used to control the well trajectory to connect or parallel the target layer. And it is an effective supplement of the existing steering drilling technology. At present, the magnetic guidance drilling technology is mainly applied to drill horizontal wells in pairs for the super heavy recovery, CBM horizontal connected wells, underground soluble minerals, relief well and so on.

Finding the breakthrough position of horizontal wells is essential to water plugging and improving oil production in bottom water drive reservoirs. Physical modeling was carried out in this paper to research the law of bottom water’s movement. The experimental results indicated that: pressure drop in wells, well trajectory and area reservoir heterogeneity were all sensitive factors for breakthrough of bottom water, and the entry points of horizontal wells were determined by the combined function of them. In different well trajectory models, the concave down part of the well cooperate with pressure drop influenced the breakthrough position. Bottom water below the heel end reached the well earliest if the concave down part located at the heel end. When the concave part located at the middle of the well, the two factors played role respectively which resulted in breaking through of bottom water at two places with larger swept area. In different heterogeneous models, permeability difference and pressure drop were both favorable factors for bottom water’s non-uniformly rise. In the model that the heel end located at high permeability part, bottom water under the heel end reached the well earliest. If the heel end was set at the low permeability part, the breakthrough of bottom water occurred at the middle of the well.

Abstract Fuling shale gas field is one of the most successful shale gas play in China. Production logging is one of the vital technologies to evaluate the shale gas contribution in different stages and different clusters. Production logging has been conducted in over 40 wells and most of the operations are successful and good results have been observed. Some previous studies have unveiled one or several wells production logging results in Fuling shale gas play. But production logging results show huge difference between different wells. In order to get better understanding of the results, a comprehensive overview is carried out. The effect of lithology layers, TOC (total organic content), porosity, brittle mineral content, well trajectory is analyzed. Results show that the production logging result is consistent with the geology understanding, and fractures in the favorable layers make more gas contribution. Rate contribution shows positive correlation with TOC, the higher the TOC, the greater the rate contribution per stage. For wells with higher TOC, the rate contribution difference per stage is relatively smaller, but for wells with lower TOC, it shows huge rate contribution variation, fracture stages with TOC lower than 2% contribute very little, and there exist one or several dominant fractures which contributes most gas rate. Porosity and brittle minerals also show positive effect on rate contribution. The gas rate contribution per fracture stage increases with the increase of porosity and brittle minerals. The gas contribution of the front half lateral and that of latter half lateral are relatively close for the "upward" or horizontal wells. However, for the "downward" wells, the latter half lateral contribute much more gas than the front half lateral. It is believed that the liquid loading in the toe parts reduced the gas contribution in the front half lateral. The overview research is important to get a compressive understanding of production logging and different fractures’ contribution in shale gas production. It is also useful to guide the design of horizontal laterals and fractures scenarios design.

Due to the unique reservoir characteristics of the coalbed methane (CBM) in China, many technical problems have to be studied and solved in the development of horizontal wells for CBM. In this paper, based on the V-type wells, we have summarized the many techniques involved in Drilling and completion of horizontal well for CBM in Binchang mining area, such as leakage protection and sealing, geosteering while drilling, remote connection, variable density cementing, Coal seam cavitation, fiberglass casing running into the well, and etc. It is pointed out that the air foam under-balance drilling will be the development direction for coalbed methane drilling technology.

From the perspective of improving single well production and wellbore stability, stress field and natural fractures are the factors which have to be taken into account in the development of horizontal wells of the complex carbonate oil and gas fields in Kuqa piedmont and platform-basin transitional area. On the one hand, as the present stress field is the key factor to control fracture permeability, the trajectory of horizontal wells should pass through fracture system with good permeability as much as possible, being conducive to the effective stimulation of the reservoir. On the other hand, at the state of specific stress, the stability of well trajectory varies with directions. Therefore, before drilling horizontal wells, it is necessary to fully analyze the quantitative relationship between the present stress state and natural fracture occurrence and mechanical characteristics, etc., to optimize and determine a well trajectory conducive to high yield and wellbore stability. In this study, firstly, the fundamental principles for evaluating the present stress state and analyzing the relationship between the stress and fractures were described. Then based on the relationship between them, the occurrence and longitudinal positions of permeability fractures were analyzed. Apart from that, the stability index and fracture opening pressure distribution of wells in different directions at given stress state and fracture system were also analyzed. Finally, the optimization scheme for trajectory of horizontal wells under complex conditions was discussed with three aspects taken into account, i.e. best drilling in permeability fractures, wellbore stability and drilled reservoir stimulation.
