Producción de petróleo con bombeo hidráulico tipo jet, utilizando como fluido motriz el agua del sistema de reinyección, en un campo del oriente ecuatoriano

Abstract

A study is presented, to harness the energy used in the water reinjection to produce oil with hydraulic jet pumping, in a field of eastern Ecuador. The work is divided into five chapters: the first chapter a description of the field is performed, the fluid properties and fields are presented. In the second chapter, the theoretical foundations of hydraulic jet pumping are described, including applications and benefits, the bottom and surface equipment are detailed and the main equations for the jet pump design are presented. In the third chapter, five candidates wells are selected, with the reservoir and the fluid parameters, mechanical conditions of the wells, taking into account the pressure and injection rate available , the geometries for jet pumps are sized, with the help of specialized software, additionally, the necessary surface facilities for producing wells with water reinjection system field are described. In Chapter Four, the comparative economic analysis with the system submersible pumping is performed to determine the financial feasibility of the project. Finally, in chapter five, conclusions and recommendations from the study are presented.
