  • Publication number: 20230160292
    Abstract: The invention addresses to a flow uniformization process for the entire useful life of a horizontal well, which associates the use of divergent sand containment screens or divergent liner. For the manufacture of divergent liners, flow simulations are carried out via computational fluid dynamics as a function of the dimensions of the horizontal well, outer diameter and length of the liner, static pressure, expected flow pressure, expected oil flow rate, oil viscosity, API degree, planned length for the horizontal well. These simulations simulate the area open to flow along the horizontal section. Additionally, well stimulation methods, scale removers and, optionally, sand containment are used.

  • Publication number: 20230144861
    Abstract: The invention proposes a tool for flow uniformization in stimulation operations that uses a washing string with divergent perforation, provides a better direction of stimulation and, therefore, a better management of the reservoir. The technology can be applied entirely through the wells area, being addressed to the reservoirs area in the management of reservoirs; wells stimulated in a homogeneous way will have fewer problems of premature cones of water and/or gas, and in the lift and flow area will contribute to improving the guarantee of flow of production from the wells. It can be applied as a technology in the intervention of wells in the phase of restoration of productivity, through operations of injection of acid in the reservoir as well as operations of squeeze of scale inhibitor.

  • Patent number: 11047189
    Abstract: A launching system for an autonomous unit (RAU) carrying a logging tool for oil and gas well logging robotic, said system comprising a main body provided with first and second control valves and a draining valve, sensors and a end cap electrically connected to a control room for transmission of the data collected by the logging tool carried by the RAU, said End Cap collecting data and charging the electrical battery of the robotic autonomous unit (RAU) carrying said logging tool to be launched by said main body and performing a schedule of logging tasks in the well; and a connection for a wellhead. The method for installation and uninstallation of the autonomous unit in the said system as well as a rescue system for the said robotic autonomous unit in case of hindered motion of the RAU for any reason are also described.
