Estudio comparado de ensamblajes direccionales de fondo para la perforación de pozos direccionales tipo “S” en el campo X del oriente ecuatoriano

Abstract

Directional drilling has become a very important tool for the development of hydrocarbon deposits since it allows oil producers to develop deposits that could never be reached, this combined with the drop of oil price and high production costs, the operating companies have been forced to reduce time and costs through optimization proposals by service providers, who have optimized their resources and services to the maximum, without compromising the safety and quality of the operations, and allowing them to achieve both the well's drilling objectives and their geological targets. This project consists of the comparative analysis of 10 perforated wells based on geological information, lithological properties, BHA designs, planning, drill string components, technical variables, comparisons of different rop’s, bit types, drilling records, and pre and post drilling analysis, in order to be able to determine and design a single optimum directional BHA that allows to cross in a single run the whole section of 16 inches where the vertical, construction, tangent and drop angle sections are included.
