Propuesta metodológica para el control y monitoreo de un proceso de inyección de agua

Abstract

Oil recovery through water injection process is the method that has contributed to the recovery of world oil, however, the changing characteristics in reservoir causing an ineffi cient oil sweep and a high operating cost. the paper presents a refl ection of methods of control and monitoring implemented in water injection processes which allow effi cient scanning and increase the percentage of oil recovered. Based on this research it develops a methodology that describes a control system using selective strings with fl ow control valves driven from surface (intelligent completions) and a monitoring system using a diagnostic method called Hall Revised Method which together seeks maximum economic recovery of the deposit.
