Simulator of detection techniques, monitoring of training parameters and control of outbreaks in oil wells

Abstract

One of the most costly and dangerous problems in the oil industry and in particular during the search for hydrocarbons, is the control of underground pressures encountered during drilling. In the field of the global oil industry, the costs related to the solution of this type of problem have amounted in recent years to hundreds of millions of dollars. The simulators is one of the advanced technologies that can prepare the students of the petroleum engineering career in risk situations in which they can present themselves in their working life, although it is not a function that they will perform, they must have the basic knowledge of outbreak control. With the objective of improving the knowledge and capacity of the students of the oil engineering career who will be incorporated into the working life in order to identify in a timely manner indicators that allow interpreting an outbreak or a lack of well control, a system of simulated training of the drilling and well control activities in a safe way for the student, since there will be real parameters of situations that arise in the drilling of wells. The academic value of this project allows us to conclude that your contribution to the students will be very satisfactory, since when developing and applying the practices on this project they will be able to use and apply formulas, methods and real concepts of the industrial field.
