In the present work, a simple-to-use predictive tool, which is easier than existing approaches, less complicated with fewer calculations, is formulated to arrive at an appropriate prediction of dimensionless breakthrough times as well as optimum horizontal well placement in homogeneous and anisotropic reservoirs as a function of dimensionless rate and density difference ratio. The proposed simple-to-use approach can be of immense practical value for petroleum engineers to have a quick check on estimating the simultaneous water and gas breakthrough time and the optimum location of horizontal well in the presence of both gas cap and aquifer for wide range of conditions without the necessity of any field test trials. In particular, petroleum engineers would find the proposed approach to be user friendly involving transparent calculations with no complex expressions for their applications. 1-2 Journal of Petroleum Science & Engineering 75 ARTICULO Bahadori, Alireza 38969 182242 182242 0 0 0 0 250061 BAAB BAAB 2026-03-05 200054282 0 200054282 2026-03-05 23:52:23 2026-03-05 ARTICULO
