Optimización de la Tasa de Penetración mediante el análisis de las vibraciones al perforar, caso de estudio Ecuador

Abstract

Exposure to vibrations in the oil well construction is an inherent phenomenon of drilling operation, the increasingly complex geometries of the wells, the hardness of the formations crossed are factors that cause unfavorable conditions and promote a failure of the drilling tools. The study outlines the optimization process carried out to drill Napo Formation (Cuenca Oriente) in 12 ¼ " section using vibration sensors to record the drilling dynamics; the analysis was performed in three directional oil wells, the correct interpretation of the records and the implementation of the recommendations that resulted from the well-to-well analysis allowed to make changes in the design of the BHA and to establish parameters of drilling, which result in lower levels of vibration and therefore in better performances .
