Rig Worms: Artificial Lift Design Guide

The document discusses the design of artificial lift for horizontal wells at the Forty Niner Ridge oil field. It outlines a 3 week plan to characterize the reservoir using data on production rates, fluid properties, and drive mechanisms. It also allocates 1 week each to characterize the wellbore geometry and casing design, and to assess field operating constraints such as location, infrastructure, and future enhanced oil recovery plans. The overall goal is to design an artificial lift system for the horizontal wells at Forty Niner Ridge based on analysis of the reservoir, well, and field conditions.
