Production Acceleration and Injectivity Enhancement Using Steam-Propane Injection for Hamaca Extra-Heavy Oil

Abstract: The largest known hydrocarbon deposit in the world, the Orinoco Belt in Venezuela, contains oil with a gravity ranging from 9 to 14 ° API. The Hamaca project encompasses more than 400 square miles of the Orinoco Belt and is believed to contain more than 30 billion barrels of extra-heavy oil (9 ° API). Production of the project started in November 2001 and the target is to produce some 30,000 m3 (190,000 barrels) a day over a life span of more than 35 years. This study found that using propane… Show more
