... Complex located in Zulia state. In view of this, it became necessary to evaluate the feasibility of building wells using monobore completion technology especially in the B6 LL 370 reservoir located in Tia Juana Field, Lake Maracaibo. Designing a monobore completion involves the construction of a wellbore...

... for cases when very few log curves are available to solve a high number of unknown lithologic variables. We applied our new methodology successfully in the Cretaceous formation, Lake Maracaibo, which is composed primarily of limestones with some dolomites and siliciclastics (glauconitic sandstones...

... small layer resistivity society of petroleum engineers Lake Maracaibo new directional technology Introduction In Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela has been drilled for over 55 years in the Miocene reservoir a big number vertical wells showing a declining of production over time. To arrest production...

... Abstract This paper describes the application of a rigid polymer gel to shut off potential gas-bearing zones in an openhole section located below a surface casing shoe in Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela. The objective was to minimize the risk of shallow gas influx during continued conventional...

...Lagunillas Area Reservoir Descriptions The reservoir is located south of the city of Lagunillas on the east side of Lake Maracaibo. It has an area of approximately 95 km 2 in the lake and 120 km 2 extending eastward on land. Fig. 5 shows a map of the Bachaquero-01 reservoir...

... area of Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela. To date, the accurate measurement of injection profiles have been both difficult and expensive requiring a well intervention to measure temperature, pressure and flow. In addition, the very nature of an intervention means that the measured parameters may...

... Abstract This paper presents the results of the numerical simulation model of the highly faulted reservoir C40/44 located in the West Flank, Block I, Lake Maracaibo western Venezuela. Based on an Integrated Approach study 1 , the 3D dynamic model allowed to evaluate the impact of the sealing...

... portion of Lake Maracaibo, Western Basin of Venezuela, more specifically in the Seismic 3D cube of Block VIII. The dataset cube embraces an area of 265 Km2; comprised by approximately 700 Inlines and 1400 Crosslines. Later in the project the study was further detailed in a smaller cube of 112 Km2 in order...

...Sanding mechanisms Abstract A geomechanics based methodology was utilized to analyze sand production problems as well as the amount of damage caused to the wells of the Southern Area 2 sector of the Ceuta field in Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela. Sand production in this field was not originally...

... and Nova valve, the Nova is independent of the downstream pressure and ideal as means of eliminating upstream instability. Around 4200 wells currently operates under continuous gas-lift in Lake Maracaibo and 5% to 10% of these operates at unstable flow conditions due to subsonic flow at the injection...

... Abstract B-6/9, SVS-82 reservoir is located in Blocks IX and X in Maraven's concession area in Lake Maracaibo Basin in Western Venezuela. The field has been on production for more than 30 years and the recovery to date has been 45% of the OOIP (930 MMSTB). Its remaining reserves are confined...

... Abstract The Lagomar production Unit covers Blocks I, II and XII of Maraven's concession in the Lake Maracaibo basin, Western Venezuela. The Unit consists of 114 reservoirs mostly of Eocene age, it has 740 wells drilled to date and has been on production for more than 40 years. The combined...

... Abstract The purpose of this paper is to describe the experience obtained by Lagoven, S.A. Petróleos de Venezuela, during the drilling operations in Block "B", southern Lake Maracaibo. A 5 7/8" directional hole was drilled through two trouble zones with different characteristics. The zones...

... sandstone western venezuela productivity problem lake maracaibo Introduction In the Block III Field, Lake Maracaibo-Western Venezuela we could detect three different zones in terms of production ( Fig.1 ). These zones could not be distinguished using conventional petrophysical evaluation...

... Abstract The Colon Formation Shale (Southern area of Lake Maracaibo) and The Carapita Formation Shales (Northern area of Monagas) have been frequently drilled with invert emulsion oil base mud (IEOM) for shale inhibition purposes. However, this fluid is not the most desirable for use...

... Abstract The Deep Cretaceous carbonate reservoirs of Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela, produce mainly from open-fractures. Any improvement in production rate requires optimal access of the wellbore to open fractures. Well tracks with maximum rates of open fracture interception have been calculated...

... ABSTRACT During 50 years in operation of the petroleum industry in the western part of the country, the surface of Lake Maracaibo has become congested with approximately 10,000 structures, among them well platforms, flow stations, pumping maniflod, production and gas lift manifolds, water...

... techniques, very little attention has been placed on the workover aspects; therefore, this paper has been written in an attempt to describe the workover experience gained from well TJ-1095, drilled in Lake Maracaibo by Lagoven, S.A., a subsidiary of Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA). completion...
