Pruebas tridimensionales de fluorescencia cuantitativa y geoquímica para disminuir el riesgo y mejorar la toma de decisiones, al seleccionar una zona de producción en pozos de la Cuenca Oriente del Ecuador

Abstract

Failures in conventional oil well evaluation techniques, special characteristics of reservoirs, fluids of various properties, complex lithologies, organic additives, lubricants, lack of personnel experience, the overconfidence of technicians, deficiency knowledge of the area; are some of the technical problems and risks faced by the managers of the operating companies of hydrocarbon fields of Ecuador, at the time of managing their companies, deciding to put or not in production a certain high potential interest zone and thereby risk an economic considerable capital. Due to the aforementioned difficulties and effects that may be generated; This work begins theoretically by defining the novel three-dimensional quantitative fluorescence and geochemical reservoir technologies. Then, the project continues with the experimentation and testing in three wells of the Eastern Basin of Ecuador. Once the applicability and positive results of the aforementioned technologies have been demonstrated, this work concludes elaborating a management tool that contributes to the decision process, when selecting potential hydrocarbon zones, answering affirmatively the hypothesis of this research: Quantitative fluorescence tests Three-dimensional and geochemical reservoirs are tools that complement conventional reservoir evaluation techniques and reduce risk by deciding to select the production areas of wells in the Eastern Basin of Ecuador.
