Estudio geológico integrado de la formación mesa al sur del lote I en un contexto regional - Cuenca Talara
This thesis is to obtain Professional Engineer Geologist title, it is a study about Mesa Formation at south of block 1 within regional context of the Talara Basin, Department of Piura in Peru NO. The subsurface sedimentary column comprises approximately 9,000 meters of clastic sedimentary rocks covering from the Middle Cretaceous to Tertiary Superior that lie on a Base of Paleozoic metamorphic rocks.
This work is done at south of Block I in Talara Basin at Northwest Peru for Mesa Formation (Lower Paleocene) in order to obtain a better technical understanding of the geological formation, with the consequence of a notary improved oil production. For this study were used different studies like: Coronas, drill cuttings, and thin sections of electrical records recently drilled wells in the region. From 2012, after applying the studies in the extracted cores, production wells is becoming attractive for that reason the number of wells per year increases from 3 to 12, with main objective Mesa Formation
In the curve of cumulative production of Mesa Formation could see the key moments in time where production improves as a result of studies efforts.
Until the date of termination of contract GMP has a minimum amount of reserves of recoverable oil in the order of 611 MMbls in structural blocks not exploited today by Mesa Formation (In Mega I block up developing). With this amount of reserves at south of block I and considering drainage hole can be drilled at least 28 profitable oil wells in the Mesa Formation. Considering average price of a barrel oil of $ 80, then the profits would be an estimated of $ 48.9 MMU.
