Para el proceso de selección es fundamental conocer los objetivos de perforación, que incluyen
todo tipo de requisitos especiales del personal para perforar el pozo. Esta información ayudará a
determinar las mejores características de la barrena que requiere la aplicación y a concentrar sus
esfuerzos en satisfacer las necesidades de Pemex y sus requisitos de perforación. Rendimiento.
Uno de los principales objetivos del personal técnico es perforar el pozo en el menor tiempo
posible. Esto significa orientar la selección de barrenas hacia la búsqueda del tipo que más
duración tenga; se busca principalmente la máxima cantidad de metros en un tiempo de rotación
aceptable, eliminando así el costoso tiempo del viaje. Direccional.
Identify – Obtain geotechnical information. This part of the process is the most important. When
done correctly, it will ensure proper tool selection and application through reaming. On larger
pipeline jobs, owners often supply contractors with accurate formation properties including rock
compressive strengths. In many cases where detailed information is not provided, I suggest the
following:
• Perform a site (or sight) survey. Sometimes actual geology is exposed from pre-existing
road work, other construction, or through onsite potholing.
• Contact the U.S. Geological Survey for geology specific to a location.
• Contact the Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service)
for soil surveys in a specific area.
• Contact local water well drillers.
• Contact local construction companies.
• Contact tooling suppliers/manufacturers, they may provide information related to past
experiences in specific areas.
Remember, you are interested in the geology that exists within 100 ft (or less) of the surface.
The more information you obtain the better equipped you’ll be to make the right choice.
Limestone, Dolomite,
10,001 to
Sandstone, Coarsely
30,000/Mid
Grained Granites
Choose – Choose a bit within the category. Bit choices progress from softer to harder in
descending order. Choices listed within each category should produce cost-effective results.
However, there can be overlap between hardness categories. Use of a downhole motor can
influence bit choice. Blade and point attack type bits are commonly used without a downhole motor.
• Talk to suppliers and manufacturers of these products. They can provide recommended
operating parameters and guidelines for optimal use.
• Noting and identifying cuttings return characteristics while drilling can help in refining
ongoing utilization and selection.
