Estudios fisicoquímicos de aguas evidencian que actualmente existe una tendencia incrustante en 24 Campos Petroleros de Colombia. Esto implica que el agua tiene tendencia a precipitar diferentes escamas, principalmente carbonato de calcio y sulfato de bario, surgiendo la necesidad de implementar herramientas para evitar o retardar la precipitación y depositación, mediante el diseño y optimización de tratamientos squeeze. Por tanto, se seleccionó un modelo matemático aplicable a formaciones de areniscas, el cual se validó para flujo lineal y radial mediante literatura, laboratorio y campo, permitiendo estimar la distribución del inhibidor a lo largo del plug durante la adsorción, y su posterior liberación relacionada con el fenómeno de desorción. Dicha metodología se validó en condiciones de presión y caudales en campo, permitiendo estimar la predicción de la vida útil del tratamiento, y se analiza el efecto de los volúmenes porosos inyectados, y caudal de producción sobre la duración del tratamiento, concluyendo que los caudales altos presentan un efecto negativo sobre la duración de los tratamientos squeeze. Además, la herramienta diseñada, permite modelamiento de adsorción y desorción de inhibidores y constituye un aporte significativo para la prevención del daño a la formación ocasionado por escamas inorgánicas, ya que actualmente no se cuenta con software comercial para este propósito.
Physicochemical studies of water show that there is currently an encrusting trend in 24 oil fields in Colombia. This implies that the water has a tendency to precipitate different scales, mainly calcium carbonate and barium sulfate. Emerging the need to implement tools that allow avoiding or delaying precipitation and deposition, through the design and optimization of squeeze treatments. Therefore, a mathematical model applicable to sandstone formations was selected, which was validated for linear and radial flow through literature, laboratory and field, allowing to estimate the distribution of the inhibitor along the plug during adsorption, and its subsequent related release with the desorption phenomenon. This methodology was analyzed under conditions of pressure and flow rates present in the field, allowing the prediction of the useful life of the treatment to be estimated, and the effect of the injected pore volumes and production flow rate on the duration of treatment, concluding that high flow rates have a negative effect on the duration of squeeze treatments. Furthermore, the designed tool allows modeling of adsorption and desorption of inhibitors and constitutes a significant contribution to the prevention of damage to the formation caused by inorganic scales, since there is currently no free software for this purpose.
