Abstract:
The execution of a drilling project of oil wells can be performed through an approach that involves scientifc knowledge of diverse disciplines, such as geology, geophysicist and petroleum engineering. For this reason, it is of great importance to act in the interface of these areas, in order to demonstrate as this interaction can provide an interdisciplinary vision of the phenomena involved in the process. In the present work, mechanical, geological and geophysical data of two wells of the Gulf of Mexico had been analyzed, with the purpose to know the drilling parameters and to select the best perforation bits, making possible, thus, the assembly of a strategy of perforation of other wells in the studied oil feld. The results reached in our study with the use of geophysical well logs indicate that, in the three observed intervals, better bits could have been selected. But, it is important to stand out that always the experience of the involved professionals in a drilling project must be considered. Therefore, several times is preferable to perforate slowly and to prevent the exchange of the consumed bits, that to drill in a fast form and have to change the bit continuously. However, the integrated use of the well data allows the optimization of the project and the elaboration of a perforation plan, which it is expressed in a better way to utilize the fnancial resources in this activity.
