Resumo:
One of the most common problems in deep and ultradeep water explorations are the sand control during production time, even in unconsolidated sandstones reservoirs, easily found in Campos Basin and others Offshore frontiers along the Brazilian coast. The reservoir particles entrance in the production pipe may create erosion inside the column and deposition problems in the surface and subsurface equipments. In order to avoid all of these problems Open Hole Gravel-Packing (OHGP) is the most applied sand control technique in such scenarios. Due to the critical conditions found in deep and ultradeep waters such as low fracture gradient, ally long horizontal section requirements, is imperative that the Gravel-Packing operation be done with accuracy. Since the long horizontal wells technology it was developed few years ago, only recently has been noted that such wells brings other flow problem, that is: the wells delivery a non-uniform production profile, that leads to a non-uniform reservoir drainage as well as a low recovery efficiency. This phenomenon is also related to the early breakthrough of water and to water and gas conning problems. Therefore, flow equalization devices are being developed, through research projects, for several teams. Gravel-Pack screens with an unevenly holes pattern perforated in the base-pipe consist in one of these new solutions. The main focus of this work consist in present the mathematical model development applied to the flow rate calculus in the holes and the checking of the best hole pattern in the base- pipe. Such pattern should have the capacity to promote the production profile equality, providing the best reservoir drainage, guaranteeing the total Gravel-Package without the overpressure created, during the operation, due to the few concentration of base-pipe holes (close to the heel), may cause the formation fracture and, at same time, guaranteeing the displacement through alfa/beta waves without, the excessive holes concentration (close to the toe), lead to premature screen-out. The computational results obtained are validated through an experimental work by physical simulations.
