  • Publication number: 20220403722
    Abstract: A method of forecasting well production in an accurate and computational cost-efficient manner implementing a hybrid, iterative approach which is computationally efficient, numerically stable, and improves the accuracy of results. The iterative method of forecasting well production can estimate a set of scaling factor, determining the average adjusted pressure in the matrix, conductive reservoir volume, and oriented hydraulic fracture, applying an algorithm to convert the average adjusted pressure to an actual average pressure, using actual average reservoir pressure to estimate a new set of scaling factor, estimating a relative error based upon the new scaling factor, determining if the relative error is within a user-defined tolerance, and performing the above steps again if relative error is not within the user-defined tolerance or storing the new scaling factors. The new scaling factors can be used to determine a production rate.

  • Patent number: 11414941
    Abstract: A lock mandrel is described herein. The lock mandrel includes an upper connector and a lower connector. The upper connector includes locking keys configured to attach the lock mandrel to a landing nipple on a tubing within a hydrocarbon well. The upper connector also includes a spring-loaded locking collar configured to prevent the locking keys from disengaging from the landing nipple by pressing radially against the locking keys from the inside when in a seated position, and allow the locking keys to disengage from the landing nipple by retracting away from the locking keys when in an unseated position. The lower connector includes a tool adaptor configured to attach a downhole tool to the lock mandrel.
