Activation of Hydrocarbon wells assisted with compression systems in Coralillos location

Abstract

Currently, the wells that are in production in our country correspond to wells in decline, that is, they have already reached their maximum production peak, this is because the reservoir pressure is below its saturation pressure. That is, the pressure at which it was drilled gradually decreases over time until it is difficult for the oil to flow naturally to the surface. The hydrocarbons that are in the subsoil are subject to compression forces, in some cases it is enough to drill a well to the reservoir for them to flow, these wells are called flowing. These wells obey the reservoir pressure, flowing well pressure, wellhead pressure, discharge line pressure, separation battery pressure, however, at the time when the wells are no longer capable to get the fluids to the surface, it is time to install an Artificial System (SAP). The main factors for installing them are lowering bottom pressure, increasing water production, where it is necessary to solve each of these problems. The methodology used is through mechanical induction operation, which consists of lifting a column of fluids (Oil-water or water-oil) through the interior of the production pipe and with the implementation of a compression system, load is eliminated. . hydrostatic flow to the well, generating movement conditions and the production of fluids from the well to the surface.
