Análisis funcional de empacaduras para completaciones de pozos petroleros e implementación de la especificación API 11D1 para su fabricación.

Abstract

In the present work a descriptive analysis was carried out through a fundamental development of the packers concepts in the background completions and the API 11D1 international specification was implemented for its design and manufacture. There are a large number of packers with different functions, due to this, the packers offered by Sertecpet S.A. The characteristics of packers in completions are described, such as: definitions, classifications, advantages, connections, functionalities, and an operating procedure through a manual, establishing operations such as settlement, assembly, disassembly, precautions, etc. failures in the well at the time of the production of hydrocarbons. Because Sertecpet S.A manufactures different types of packers that do not meet an API certification, losses are generated at the time of sale, either in the national or international area, which forces the need to implement the API 11D1 specification. The hydraulic packer 7 x 2-7 / 8" was chosen, which was implemented in the specification, since it is the greatest demand due to its high efficiency. A manufacturing procedure matrix was generated which contains all the requirements of the regulations and among which was specified the design, manufacture and quality control. At the same time, a study was made of the areas and people that would provide information for the completion of the three processes previously mentioned. A series of validation tests with grade V6 was carried out, to finally implement a quality grade Q2.
