Previous issue date: 2016-02-22 / Com um n?mero crescente de campos maduros, a recupera??o de ?leo pesado tem se apresentado um dos grandes desafios do setor petrol?fero. O Nordeste Brasileiro, por exemplo, possui in?meros reservat?rio de ?leo pesado que possam vir a ser explorados com a utiliza??o de m?todos t?rmicos. Dentre os tipos de m?todos utilizados para ?leos pesados, destaca-se o m?todo da combust?o in-situ, uma t?cnica no qual o calor ? produzido dentro do reservat?rio, diferente da inje??o de fluido aquecido em que o calor ? gerado na superf?cie e transportado para o reservat?rio. Neste tipo de processo, ? comum utilizar po?os verticais como injetores e produtores. Contudo, m?todos que utilizam po?os horizontais como produtores de ?leo s?o cada vez mais estudados devido ? maior ?rea de contato entre a forma??o e a frente de combust?o. Sendo assim, o objetivo principal do presente trabalho foi estudar as diferentes configura??es de po?os (CIS, THAITM e CAGD) no processo de combust?o in-situ, na recupera??o de ?leo, utilizando um reservat?rio semissint?tico com caracter?sticas do Nordeste Brasileiro. O m?todo ?toe-to-heel air injection? (THAITM) ? um processo de recupera??o de petr?leo avan?ado, que consiste na integra??o da combust?o in-situ com os avan?os tecnol?gicos na perfura??o de po?os horizontais. Este m?todo utiliza po?os horizontais como produtores de ?leo, mantendo po?os injetores verticais para a inje??o de ar. O processo de drenagem de ?leo por diferencial gravitacional assistida com combust?o (CAGD) ? um sistema integrado, nesta configura??o o po?o injetor horizontal ? perfurado na parte superior de forma??o,com um po?o horizontal produtor na se??o inferior. As simula??es foram realizadas em um programa comercial de processos t?rmicos, denominado ?STARS? (Steam, Thermal, and Advanced Processes Reservoir Simulator), da empresa CMG (Computer Modelling Group). Foi realizada uma an?lise da vaz?o de inje??o de ar e verificou-se que cada m?todo possu?a um limite m?ximo de inje??o para o modelo base, mostrando que passando desse limite de inje??o de ar, havia redu??o da produ??o acumulada de ?leo. Foram realizadas an?lises dos par?metros operacionais: vaz?es de inje??o, configura??o e completa??o dos po?os. Na an?lise de sensibilidade foi encontrado que a vaz?o de inje??o de ar apresentou maior influ?ncia no m?todo THAI, j? no m?todo CIS a completa??o dos po?os foi o par?metro mais influente e no CAGD a configura??o de po?os foi o que apresentou maior influ?ncia na fra??o recuperada. Os resultados econ?micos mostraram que o melhor caso obtido foi o m?todo CAGD,pois, apesar de possuir maior custo inicial, foi o que apresentou melhor retorno financeiro quando comparado com os melhores casos do CIS e THAI. / With an increasing number of mature fields, heavy oil recovery has performed one of the great challenges of the oil industry. The Brazilian Northeast, for example, has numerous heavy oil reservoirs are explored with the use of thermal methods. Among the types of methods used for heavy oil, there is the method of in-situ combustion, a technique in which heat is produced within the container, unlike the injection of heated fluid when the heat is generated at the surface and transported to the reservoir. In this type of process, it is common to use vertical wells as injectors and producers. However, methods which use horizontal wells like oil producers are increasingly studied because of greater contact area between the formation and combustion front. Thus, the main objective of this work was to study the different configurations of wells (CIS THAITM and CAGD) in the process of in-situ combustion in oil recovery using a semi-synthetic tank with Brazilian Northeast features. The method "toe-to-heel air injection" (THAITM) is a process of enhanced oil recovery, which is the integration of in-situ combustion with technological advances in drilling horizontal wells. This method uses horizontal wells such as oil producers, keeping vertical injection wells for injecting air. The oil drain process by differential gravitational assisted with combustion (CAGD) is an integrated, in this configuration the horizontal injector well is drilled at the top formation with a horizontal production well in the lower section. The simulations were performed in a commercial program of thermal processes, called "STARS" (Steam, Thermal, and Advanced Processes Reservoir Simulator), the company CMG (Computer Modelling Group). An analysis of the air flow injection was performed and it was found that each method had a maximum injection to the base model, a show that through this air injection limit was reduced cumulative production of oil. Analyses of operating parameters were used: injection flow, configuration and completion of wells. In the sensitivity analysis we found that the air injection flow showed greater influence on THAI method, since the CIS method the completion of the wells was the most influential parameter and CAGD configuration wells showed the greatest influence in the recovered fraction. The economic results have shown that the best case obtained in CAGD method because, despite having higher initial cost showed the best financial return compared to the best cases the CIS and THAI.
