Estudio para la implementación de la tecnología de completaciones inteligentes para la producción simultánea de varias arenas en el campo Palo Azul

Abstract

The need to increase the oil production activity and consequently the economic benefit, has led to determine the viability of the installation of a Modular IntelliZone Compact Multizone Control System, which allows the simultaneous production of several sands (two or more) of a well of the Palo Azul Field of the Ecuadorian East. Regarding the selection of the appropriate well, the 42 wells that were producing between April and December 2017 were taken into consideration, to which an evaluation of the oil production and% BSW was made. In this way, the wells with the highest oil production and lowest% BSW were selected with respect to the averages of the field. With this, 6 candidate wells were obtained for the implementation. The same ones that were subjected to the analysis of their production history, last workover, situation of completion diagram, reserves and their electrical log. After this analysis, the well PLAN-053RE was chosen since its conditions are the most optimal for intelligent implementation. An electrosubmersible pump was designed capable of carrying to the surface the required rate of the selected well. In addition, the nodal study of the well was executed, the two processes were carried out using the Pipesim software. Once the completion was designed, the project was economically evaluated and finally the conclusions and recommendations were described.
