Técnica de perforación direccional utilizada en el campo Gustavo Galindo Velasco para la extracción de petróleo por bombeo mecánico

Abstract

This document is a bibliographic compilation analysing the directional drilling technique used in the Gustavo Galindo Velasco field for the extraction of oil by mechanical pumping in the province of Santa Elena, where the oil of that place has 34.5-35.5 degrees API average. In Ecuador, most of the oil comes from the northwest of the country in the Amazon basin and the Santa Elena peninsula, therefore, there are different techniques that are used in the oil fields of different zones or regions, however, the specific technique used in the Ing Field. Gustavo Galindo Velasco, is the technique of vertical drilling or also called straight wells, because they do not present any deviation with respect to the vertical. This drilling has been transformed into a tool of great importance in the improvement of oil deposits, it has now been verified that the use of this drilling has greater profitability, in most cases decreases costs of obtaining oil. Once the well is drilled, the oil is extracted by artificial lifting by mechanical pumping, which is made up of two main parts, surface equipment and bottom equipment. Finally, the resistivity and porosity are conditions of the soil of great importance, because through these the formation and fracture pressures are predicted, which are determinants for the settlement of the lining pipes and with it the depth of the well.
