Estudio de recuperación secundaria de petróleo en el campo El Rayo, mediante simulación matemática

Abstract

The present project carries out a study of secondary oil recovery in the El Rayo field through mathematical simulation to increase oil production in the field. The project includes 5 wells producing the Basal Tena sandstone, the same ones that have an artificial lifting system of the mechanical pumping type. The description of the El Rayo field, the characterization of the producing sandstone and the review of the geology of the area with sandstone Basal Tena; contribute to better understand the properties of the rock, the properties of fluids, and what is actually occurring in the reservoir. Using fundamentals and methods used in the secondary recovery of oil, it was defined, structured and updated the static and dynamic model realized by the company Tecpetrol S.A. in September, 2015; using the software "Petrel" and "Eclipse were realized the bullfights of the different scenes of simulation. Finally, a technical and economic analysis was realized, defined the best scene between the alternatives proposed for the El Rayo field allowing to formulate conclusions and recommendations of the obtained results.
