Abstract

A method of achieving a preferential flow distribution in a horizontal well bore. This method consists of the step of positioning in a horizontal wellbore a slotted liner having a plurality of slots which provide a flow area. The slot open flow area of the slotted liner varying along its length in accordance with a selected strategy of flow distribution. The preferred strategy being to create an overbalanced condition in the wellbore which promotes promote a higher flow at the toe portion than at the heel portion.
