Unfortunately, there is not good answer. The flow into a horizontal well will depend on the formation and oil properties. This can be stated as transmissibility = Ko x h/ visc where Ko is the oil permeability, h is the formation thickness and visc is the oil viscosity. It can be more complicated than this, but the higher this transmissibility, the higher the initial flow rate. Of course, the extent of the horizontal well is also important, and artificial lift may be used to increase flow.

How many barrels per day does a good oil well produce?

The best produce more than 100,000 barrels per day (1 barrel=42 gallons). Most produce less than this, and can produce as little as 100 barrels per day. A "good" well comes down to economics. It should be making enough money to offset the time, effort, and energy costs to keep it running and be producing sufficently to warrent keeping the equipment dedicated to it. Otherwise the equipment should be moved to a more economically viable well which will yield a greater profit margin.


How much oil does an oil well produce daily?

For the US, the average is somewhere between 15 barrels a day and 30 barrels a day, but some are producing much more.


How many barrels of oil did Deepwater Horizon produce before the disaster?

None. The Maconda well did not conducted any production tests prior to the blow out. This was an exploratory well which did not reached it's final depth.


How many barrels does a Texas oil well produce?

I have provided an answer based on my assumption that you would like to know how much oil a well produces on a daily basis. It is very hard to generalize. Oil production is measured in barrels per day. A barrel is 42 gallons. Well production is highly variable and depends on many factors. There are many wells in the US producing less than 10 barrels of oil per day and are considered "stripper wells." The high side of oil production from a single wellbore can be as high as 10,000 barrels/day. The production normally declines as reservoir pressure declines. An increase in gas and/or water can result in declining production.


Where can one find reliable information about paintball barrels online?

What can produced electricity?

Well, Many things can produce electricity. An easy way to produce electricity is to get a coil and pass a bar magnet through it.


How much total oil will come out of the oil spill if unchecked?

Very difficult to know, because a blown out well, today is always brought under control. How much oil would the Maconda well produce, if they did not try to cap it? Many wells produce over 10 million barrels, or 420 million gallons. But blow-out have known to bridge over, and seal themselves over time. Nobody is going to let a blow out go unchecked.


Can you describe the slope of a horizontal line?

Well the run will obviously be 0, but the rise depends on how many spaces it is from bottom to top.


What are the specifications of a Browning B80 shotgun?

What specifications do you need? Barrels differentiate depending on length and choke. The weight depends on the barrel as well.


How many gallons of crude oil does a US oil well pump in one day?

Depends...First all oil wells are rated in barrels (42 gal).Some wells can produce hundreds of barrels of fluid per day. Some wells produce only one or less than 1 barrel of fluid per day.The fluid they produce can also vary in the amount of oil they produce, some wells might produce a lot of fluid but its only 5% oil where the rest is salt water. While other wells produce pure oil and all in between. Some wells even actually inject fluids back down into the geological formation. Not every well you see is a producer.You might have two wells 50' apart and they produce completely different amounts of oil. It all depends on the geology down where they drilled and luck since you really never know what is down there until you drill the hole.


How many barrels of cement is required to fill a 17.0 inches diameter well that is 1500 feet deep?

Dependes on the volume of your barrel. > Radius (r) = 8.5 / 12 = 0.7083333 . . . feet > The volume of the well = pi * r * r * l = 2364.375 cubic feet > Divide 2364.375 by your barrel volume in cubic feet, this = number of barrels.
