ABSTRACT:
The disclosed invention is a method of producing horizontal wells in the most efficient manner at an optimum fluid production rate, which is the maximum rate at which fluids may be produced from a horizontal well while maintaining the downward velocity of formation fluids towards the horizontal well at a velocity which will avoid fingering of the fluids through the formation.
