... from the use of these materials in hydraulic fracture stimulation operations in the Burgos Basin in northern Mexico; results from offset wells are also presented for correlation and comparison. Production from this basin comes from low-permeability sandstones normally considered tight gas formations...

... Abstract The Bermudez Complex is located in South Mexico; it constitutes of three main fields: Iride, Samaria and Cunduacan and was discovered in 1972. In terms of oil production it is the most important field in the southern region and is one of the principle blocks in the country. Production...

...). To date, about 100 jobs have been performed with this system in Mexico to address conformance problems such as: Water coning/cresting. High-permeability streaks. Gravel pack isolation. Fracture shutoff. Casing leak repair. This paper presents an overview of case histories that used OCP...

..., the Poza Rica-Altamira oil field, bordering the Gulf coast in the eastern part of Mexico, experienced injectivity loss after five months of reinjection of formation waters into well AF-847 in 1999. Acidizing with HCl restored injectivity. We report on laboratory experiments and reactive chemistry modeling...

... Abstract Oil production from Southeastern Mexico mainly comes from highly fracturated carbonate reservoirs. The appropriate management of oil production, natural depletion of the reservoirs with time, and continuous upper movement of oil- water contact represent the biggest challenge to isolate...

... initiated a joint turn-key project with Halliburton Mexico to drill six wells in the Jujo-Tecominoacan Field. This on-going Integrated Project provides an opportunity to explore new technologies in all areas of drilling engineering, as well as reducing the drilling and completion time for these "hard rock...

... Abstract The use of catalysts in crude heavy oils can improve substantially their viscosity, API and reduce the content of porphyrins, sulfur, and asphaltenes [ 1 ]. In this work a simulation study of the heavy crude oil production in networks (localized in the Golf of Mexico) was done...

... Abstract Many recent hydrocarbon discoveries in the Gulf of Mexico are heavy and extra-heavy oils. Additionally, given the imminent decline of lighter crude oil fields such as Cantarell (the primary Mexican oil field), it seems that most of the crude oil production in Mexico, in the midterm...

... in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) that allowed an operator to drill confidently in a very tight hydraulic envelope and eliminate a string of casing. The real-time use of data from the LWD formation pressure and sonic tools provides confidence in geopressure predictions. These LWD measurements allow the predrill...

... Abstract Chicontepec field is located in the northern portion of the state of Veracruz, Mexico. The typical well drilled in the field has a directional "S" shape profile (up to 4°/30m DLS) with three casing points. The main challenge is constructing the 6-3/4" section generally between 500m...

... Abstract Today operators are forced to drill in increasingly challenging environments in an effort to meet a growing global demand for petroleum products. In Mexico, meeting this challenge requires more skills and innovative materials from oilwell cementing providers. Nowhere else in the world...

... Abstract The majority of the fields in southeast Mexico require 1,000m to 3,400m of 17-1/2 hole to set 13-3/8 casing at the top of Encanto/Deposito formation. Lithology is typically weak sandstone with shale stringers (UCS 2,000-6,000 psi). Operators have attempted to use PDC to drill the hole...

... Abstract The Antonio J. Bermudez basin in Southern Mexico is a low porosity massive Jurassic and Cretaceous carbonate reservoir that is extensively faulted and fractured due to post depositional salt intrusions. The natural fractures create many drilling challenges and obstacles. Underbalanced...
