3D Seismic Modelling in Isotropic and Heterogenous Media

5

Models:

Flake Precipitation in the water.
Flake Deposition in the porous medium.
Remediation of damage caused by plugging due to flakes.
Inhibition of flake deposition.

Activities

Classify
Predict
Quantify
Mitigate
Prevent damage

Mineral Flake

In that order of ideas, we will present 2 projects from the oil an gas Industry,

During the oil extraction process, minerals or crystals deposit appear in the pores of the well or in the pipes

due to thermodynamic changes in the reservoir or alterations in the formation water over time.

This problem costs the oil industry billions of dollars a year, and methods are used to prevent or mitigate the buildup of these flakes. and preventing damage to scales to the operational conditions imposed by national production systems.

The web-type computational tool allows predicting, quantifying, mitigating, This second case has two different connotations that affected the requirements: the final tool in production is proprietary software in consortium with Ecopetrol, the community involved as at the same time university researchers and Ecopetrol engineers who are part of decision makers as well as interest groups, and finally, there is a critical data management and protection.

Georeferenced Tool for the Treatment of Inorganic Flakes

6

It has a database of physicochemical analysis of well water distributed throughout the national territory.

A web-type computational tool was developed to predict, quantify, mitigate and prevent damage to formation by inorganic material or scales to the operational conditions imposed by national production systems.

The predictions of each of the developed modules are quite accurate as evidence of validations with commercial computational tools, data reported in literature and experimental data obtained in the laboratories of Petrophysical Analysis and Damage to Training of the Industrial University of Santander.

The tool generated is robust, efficient, reliable and is developed in technologies that are at the forefront for this type of software, allowing users to obtain the expected results in each of the modules.
