COMPARACIÓN DE TRES MÉTODOS PARA EL CÁLCULO DE EFICIENCIA DE POZOS

Abstract

This work investigated the efficiency of five wells through the development. The efficiency wascalculated with the method of Jacob, Rorabaugh and an analitic one. The analytic method was designed by theauthors and used to calculate the efficiency with the unknown quantity of the exponent in the expresion s = BQ+ CQn. Three wells were developed using compresed air and two with CO2 (dry ice), generally obtaining anincrease in efficiency, but not in all cases. In some cases the efficiency after the development was lower thanbefore, because a well loss was induced through high water discharge. The value of n is 2 or these about, when thewater discharge is low and the flow is laminar. High values of n were encontered with high water discharge rates.
