Estudio de pre-factibilidad del diseño de pozos en dos secciones 16" y 12-1/4" en el campo Tiputini de la cuenca Oriente

Abstract

The drilling of an oil well involves high investment values that are in function of operating times, technology, and possible operational problems during drilling. Controlling these variables is a main factor in regard of planning a drilling program. In this document, the drilling program for a directional well type "J" is developed in two sections, in order to carry out the Pre-Feasibility study of the proposed design. It is also important to carry out a study of the technical data of nine wells drilled in Tiputini field, for instance; drilling time, directional and target drilling plan, performance of drills, drilling fluids for each section, cement slurries, solids control, and types of casing and depth of settling. Then, the drilling program is designed according to wells drilled study. Finally, a technical and economic analysis of the design with the obtained results is made, comparing time and drilling costs between conventional schemes and the proposed design in this work. In addition, it has a projection of the economic benefits that would imply to adopt the proposal.
