Multiple challenges related to liquid loading have been observed during flowback after hydraulic fracturing and during the production phase. These challenges are further aggravated by high-inclination angles found in deviated wellbores. The complete paper describes an experimental study performed to investigate the onset of liquid loading in a 6-in. production casing at various inclination angles.
