Estimados colegas,

En este año tan especial para la industriapetrolera argentina que celebra su centenario,hito generador de crecimiento y desarrollo entoda la región, es un honor invitarlos a participardel X LACPEC 2007 a llevarse a cabo enBuenos Aires en abril de este año.

Este encuentro, que se perfila como excepcional,contará con la presencia de personalidadesdistinguidas por sus conocimientos y experiencia,soportada en un récord de más de 200 trabajos a presentar. En este foro trabajaremos en mesas redondas en las que se abordarán los temas que más nos preocupan, considerando que la industria afronta retos técnicos, para mejorar el factor de recobro de nuestros campos, el reto de atraer a nuevos profesionales e integrarlos en esta industria ante las necesidades de recursos huma-nos que existen, así como mostrar a la sociedad el verdadero compromiso que tenemos con su bienestar.

Es en este marco que les propongo unirse ala convocatoria que refleja la forma de ser y pen-sar de una industria creciente y pujante, desarrol-lada por técnicos que con su esfuerzo y empeño acompañan a la mejora y bienestar de toda la sociedad.

Cordialmente,

Tomás García Blanco

PRESIDENTE Comité Organizador X LACPEC

chairmanX Lacpec 2007

Dear colleagues,

in this very special year for the oil industry in argentina celebrating its one hundredth anniversary; a landmark of development and growth in the region, i am honored to invite you to take part in the X Lacpec 2007, to be held in Buenos aires in april this year.

this meeting, which is expected to be exceptional, will include a number of distinguished experienced and knowledgeable people and will be supported by a record-setting number of over 200 papers. the forum format will be round tables, where major issues of concern will be discussed given the fact that the industry faces technical challenges such as recovery rates of our fields, the challenge of attracting new professionals and of bringing them into this industry given the shortage of human resources, as well as the challenge of showing the sector’s true commitment to the well-being of society.

Within this framework, i call upon you to join us in this meeting that is reflective of the mind and heart of a growing, and thriving industry developed by technicians who with hard work and dedication strive to improve and sustain the well being of us all.

Sincerely,

INDICE DE CONTENIDOS

pRUEBAS DE pOzO: BENEFICIOS Y LImITACIONES

Instructor Giovanni Da Prat Fecha 15 de Abril de 2007 (un día)

OBJETIVOSEn este curso se presenta un resumen de la metodología usada en las pruebas de presión a la fecha. Aunque en la actualidad la imple-mentación de las pruebas cuenta con equipo de última tecnología y los programas y proce-dimientos de pruebas se consideran óptimos en la mayoría de los casos, se muestra que la obtención de los objetivos de evaluación propues-tos, considerando la relación costos-beneficio, depende en muchos casos de lograr inducir la respuesta de la formación (homogénea o fracturada) considerando el entorno del pozo y el equipo de prueba particular. Los beneficios así como limitaciones de las pruebas se ilustran con varios casos de campo.

Se presentan igualmente los beneficios que tiene en el logro de los objetivos de evaluación, el disponer de diseño de la prueba así como plan de contingencia. Se presentan varios casos de campo de pruebas realizadas tanto en tierra como costa afuera. Basados en las lecciones aprendidas se concluye que el éxito de una prueba depende de que el análisis de la información de presión y producción se realice en conjunto y durante el desarrollo de la prueba, con los profesionales de perforación, sísmica, geología, petrofisica y el equipo de pruebas.

¿A quién va dirigido?: Ingenieros de petróleo, geólogos, geofísicos, ingenieros de yacimiento y producción, profesionales de operaciones geológicas y gerentes

Instructor giovanni Da prat Date april 15, 2007 (one day)

oBJeCtIvesin this course an overview of past and current well testing methods is presented. although current testing practices may involve the use of modern testing equipment and optimized testing programs and procedures, it is shown that getting the desired reservoir evaluation objectives in the best economical way depends in many cases on the formation nature (homogeneous or naturally fractured), fluid properties, and well environment response to the particular testing equipment and field practices. Several field cases are presented were testing benefits and limitations are emphasized the benefits of considering the design of the test and a contingency plan in every testing job are presented. Lessons learned from many field cases of tests conducted in both onshore and offshore exploratory wells are indicative that the key for a successful layer testing lies in that the analysis of the acquired pressure and production data as well as fluid type should be done in conjunction and during the testing time with the drilling, geophysical, geology, petrophysical, and testing teams.

Who should attend?: petroleum engineers, geologists, geophysicists, reservoir and production engineers. geological operations professionals and managers.
