This technique, offers both economical and environmental benefits to producers. Despite these advantages, only a limited number of these systems has been installed worldwide. There is a consensus in the industry, on the advantages this technology has to offer. On the other hand, very few operators are willing to deploy this technology due to reliability issues associated with these systems. Based on the author's experiences, the two outstanding factors that are contributing to this perception are:Complicated system designMisapplication of the technologyThe intent of this paper is to discuss several reasons that are limiting the applications of these systems and also offer solutions to these problems. One such solution is a newly developed Encapsulated DOWS System. This new system and its the implementation in La-Victoria Field will be addressed in detail.IntroductionProduced water, associated with oil and gas production, presents significant challenges to the operators. Broadly, these challenges can be both economical and environmental. Economically, two major costs are associated with water production; 1) the cost of producing water to the surface, and 2) the cost of water separation, treatment and storage. The economic impact of these costs is further amplified if the opportunity costs associated with the production; treatment and storage of produced water are considered. Additionally, high water saturation near the well bore may affect the flow of crude oil into the well bore through relative permeability effects. Environmentally speaking, producing water to the surface and treating it with chemicals always poses a risk to the environment. Thus systems that can separate the two phases of produced fluid, oil and water, downhole offer great benefits to the producers.Downhole Oil Water Separator Systems have been in the industry since the early 1990s. The concept of this technology is unique and presents many advantages to the producers. In spite of this, DOWS systems have limited field applications. A recent study done by the Department of Energy (DOE), National Petroleum Technological Office states that as of 1999, fewer than 100 DOWS systems have been installed worldwide. This number presents a severe limitation of this technology. The authors do appreciate the fact that these systems are not designed to be installed in every high water cut well. However, it is hard to fathom that so few of these systems have been installed worldwide. Limited application of this technology can be attributed to several factors. These factors can be both technological and economical. However, the technological challenges presented by this technique have severely undermined the economical aspect of this technology. The intent of this paper, therefore, would be two pronged: Firstly, to describe the basics of a DOWS technology and its current perceptions in the industry. Secondly, a newly developed DOWS System will be discussed which can offer solutions to many of the application problems associated with these systems. A field application of this new system will also be discussed.
