Application of Mechanistic Models in Predicting Flow Behavior in Deviated Wells Under UBD Conditions

Underbalanced drilling (UBD) has increased in recent years because of the many advantages associated with it. These include increase in the rate of penetration and reduction of lost circulation and formation damage. Drilling of deviated and horizontal wells also increased since recovery can be impro...
