Evaluation of thermal performance in fields subjected to steam injection (SW-SAGD mode), Orinoco Oil Belt, Venezuela.


Abstract:

In July 2006, Petroleos de Venezuela SA, completed the first well under the SW-SAGD technology in the Orinoco Oil Belt, specifically in the sand reservoir TL MFB-15, Bare field. In this case, was selected the well MFB-617, which is of horizontal geometry, drilling in the area of the reservoir with better characteristics and completed with thermal equipment as a future candidate for thermal injection processes. To determine the behavior of steam and fell to optimize the injection pressure and temperature sensors Were placed along the wellbore high temperature fiber optic sensors and thermocouples type, through this monitoring system, information was obtained that allowed to know the behavior of steam in the background and the movement of heated fluids.
