Estudio para evaluar el potencial de la aplicación de recuperación mejorada en un Campo de la Cuenca Oriente del Ecuador

Abstract

The MR field is characterized as one of the most productive areas of the Oriente basin in Ecuador, it has low production rate, high residual oil saturation and contributes to the financial health of the country; however, due to the decline in production, it needs a significant field optimization study by using techniques of enhanced oil recovery (EOR), which are to establish strategies to take advantage of production characteristics of the reservoir, favorably alter the conditions of rock and fluids, increasing oil production. The first chapter describes the parameters of EOR field feasibility, the second chapter introduces the fundamentals needed to better understanding oil recovery, the third chapter shows a selection of EOR methods, the fourth chapter is a feasibility study of the EOR method that best engages the field of study with a dynamic modeling; finally, the sixth chapter the conclusions and recommendations of the project are obtained.
