abstract: The increase in demand for oil and gas today requires oil operators to maximize
productivity. In order to produce more fluid from the reservoir into the wellbore,
perforations must penetrate considerably beyond invaded zone with impaired
permeability. The production engineers must take advantage of the perforation
controllable parameters to maximize the well productivity. In this study, a simple
analytical model incorporating perforation length, radius, and shot density was used to
analyze oil well productivity. The results shows that the production rate can be
increased by the perforation length, radius, and shot density. The drawdown pressure
was reduced with increase in the perforation length and shot density. Higher fluid
velocity was controlled with increase in the shot density, length and radius of
perforation. The length of perforation and shot density are better in optimizing well
productivity. Optimum perforation parameters are required as further increase result
in increase in cost relative to the productivity.
