“Desarrollo de ingeniería para la instalación de una bomba de inyección de agua de formación y sus equipos auxiliares”

Abstract

Production process in oil wells generates along with crude oil, formation water, a product that is reinjected into extraction reservoirs to avoid dumping on the surface, because it contains components that are harmful to the environment. In this study developed design and engineering in electrical, instrumentation, control, and monitoring areas for implementation a formation water injection pump for hydrocarbon activities in eastern Ecuador. Thus, initial diagnosis was made by gathering information regarding design to be developed and applicable reference standards were considered. Likewise, bases and criteria for elaboration of design were established and a proposal for its development was suggested, through calculation of different parameters that were considered as relevant. Next, the design documentation of the control and monitoring system, HMI screens that incorporate the process to be monitored, the selection of equipment, electrical materials and instrumentation is detailed. Finally, conclusions and recommendations obtained after analysis carried out according to objectives established in the background section of this document are presented.
