Plan de Optimización de la Producción del Campo Palo Azul Mediante Fracturamiento Hidráulico en Base a los Modelos PKN, KGD y Radial en el Reservorio Hollín

Abstract

The development of this work arose from the need for an alternative to increase hydrocarbon production in block 18 Palo Azul field, currently the field has a decline rate of 35%, making it uneconomical for different wells, thus closing in soot formation and producing in Basal Tena formation. As an alternative to this problem, a work of reconditioning based on hydraulic fracturing is proposed, with three different geometries as model PKN, KGD and Radial. The objective is to create a greater penetration radius from the edge of the well to formation obtaining an excellent sweep, increasing the volume to recover. Among the results obtained it can be seen that the PKN, KGD models get a penetration length of 150 ft while in the Radial model reaches a maximum length of 60 ft, this work is also sustainable in time because an analysis is performed based on the continuity of the sands in order to obtain the best fracturing direction, helping the contribution of hydrocarbons from nearby wells to the well in question, this helps to maintain production and be economically profitable. This intervention will help to add 1500 barrels of oil per day to the current production of the field.
