Evaluación técnica de las operaciones de cementación en trabajos de workover para la optimización de producción del campo Cuyabeno

Abstract

Oil production has been key to Ecuador’s economic development since the 1970s. For this reason, this research work aims to optimize oil production in the Cuyabeno field, Block 58, Sucumbíos Province. A selection methodology and production decline estimation are proposed, providing a more realistic scenario that reduces investment risk. In this way, in addition to improving oil production, it contributes to job creation and encourages increased investment in the energy sector. By using an Excel database containing the crude oil production history and BSW per month for the wells in Cuyabeno, the subsequent selection of candidate wells, and the estimation of their flow decline using the logarithmic equation, two prospective wells were identified. CYB-010 and CYB-69, which showed a considerable hydrocarbon contribution period before their scheduled closure. Keywords: BSW, production, decline, investment, Cuyabeno.
