Gas Lift Jet Applications Offshore Lake Maracaibo

Proceedings of SPE International Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition in China, 1998
Abstract Production optimization in continuous gas-lift flow is achieved once the correct amount of gas has been injected through the operating valve, under stable flow condition. More than 80% of the active wells offshore Lake Maracaibo operates with artificial gas-lift methods.

Effect Of Water Injection In Shaly Sands In The Lake Maracaibo Area

SPE Oilfield and Geothermal Chemistry Symposium, 1979
Introduction Some of the oil-bearing formations in the Lake Maracaibo area are strongly contaminated by clays. Gamma-ray logging has detected the presence of clay between 2500 and 3000 ft where water is being injected for secondary recovery purposes.

Lake Maracaibo and Weddell Sea: Comparison in Petroleum Geology

AAPG Bulletin, 1971
ABSTRACT The present structure of the Weddell Sea is very similar to that of the Maracaibo basin during mid-Tertiary time. Comparisons of late Mesozoic and early Tertiary sedimentation in the two regions and of their subsequent geologic development suggest that the Weddell Sea may be an area of important oil reserves.

Commingled Production Wells: Experiences in Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1998
Abstract For many years, commingled production has not been considered as a valid alternative to produce marginal fields. In fact, oil regulations in many countries do not allow this technique because it could affect the final recovery.
