Higher gas production rates initially reduce liquid holdup, but excessive rates lead to frictional losses that diminish removal efficacy.
Toe-down wells maintain stable bottom-hole pressures, while toe-up wells experience slugging at lower rates, underlining operational strategy importance.
Transient multiphase flow modeling was performed using OLGA with actual field data to simulate various well trajectory scenarios.
Findings emphasize that choosing the optimal well trajectory design can enhance flow stability and minimize liquid accumulation.
