Análisis comparativo técnico - económico de producción de crudos pesados en pozos horizontales y direccionales, arena “m-1” formación napo, bloque 16, oriente ecuatoriano

The types of drilling well executed in the Amo oilfield are vertical, directional and horizontal. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the best drilling way should be made in the Amo oilfield. The drilling well selection is by a techno-economical comparative analysis of a horizontal well and a directional well. For to make this analysis was necessary the use technical information of the selected wells, the data was obtained through the operator-company of Block 16 (Amo Oil field). The Napo (sandstone M-1) sandstones are thin and permeable. The completion of each well is designed to extract large quantities of fluids. The most important part of this work is based on technical and economic comparison of the two selected wells. In the technical evaluation, we can say that the Tiger (horizontal well) has increased production of oil and water, which performs better profit. The horizontal and directional well drilling would help to significantly reduce deforestation on the oilfield and increase the oil production. And, the horizontal drilling is more convenient than directional well according techno-economical aspects.
