Oil production technology for unconventional reservoirs

Abstract

Interest in the subject related to the oil production from unconventional hydrocarbons has increased in recent years. Operation of such reservoirs requires the use of the state-of-the-art technology. Definitely, drilling horizontal and multilateral wells in conjunction with hydraulic fracturing and acidizing meet that requirement. This paper discusses the most important from the author’s view issues, including artificial lift systems, connected with oil production from unconventional reservoirs around the world and its applicability for Polish hydrocarbons reservoir.
