Abstract

This chapter mainly discusses the optimal design of well patterns, which is based on the principle and placement method of the vector well pattern in perspective of the actual oilfield data or the type of production wells. Focusing on a specific reservoir, the reservoir distribution, sedimentary characteristics, and reservoir directional characters can basically recognized. Based on the technology of reservoir fine description, reasonable well patterns can be chosen to effectively control the geological reserves with the help of modern drilling technology in order to get the best effect of water flooding.
