A UTILIZAÇÃO DE DUTOS NA EXPLORAÇÃO DE PETRÓLEO E OS MEIOS EFICAZES DE ESCOAMENTO

Abstract

Petroleum today is considered the main fuel in the generation of energy on the planet. Its exploration is increasingly at an accelerated pace. Historians have led us to believe that oil was already known to man 4,000 years B.C. It is an oily substance less dense than water. We know that the first open well was in the United States, in the city of Tittusville, with a depth of 21 meters. The system of exploration and flow of oil many centuries ago in Chinese civilization, oil was removed and channeled by bamboo tubes, with a depth of up to 4 thousand meters, a surprising fact during the Shu Han dynasty, 2nd century BC Today the The oil sector is well advanced, with some technologies and equipment development. The use of pipelines for oil exploration and efficient means of disposal have been increasingly explored by large oil companies. The first pipeline was built in the United States. For transportation in the early days of the oil industry was made by wooden barrels on wagons, barges and trains. Today, the name barrel is used as an official measure for the sale of oil. After the discovery of the pre-salt, Brazil became a more viewed country, but still with little technology. How will this use of the pipelines be made, for a viable flow process in oil exploration? Studies and manufacture of new ferrous and non-ferrous alloys provide for the development of new products, which can be used within the oil industry, such as carbon glass fiber, epoxy and others, which aim at greater lightness and resistance to corrosion. We know that corrosion and temperature is one of the factors that most affects oil pipelines. The materials that are best identified in working on this improvement process will be sought through research and concepts, where to identify the best way to use the pipelines with new technologies, always looking for improvement in exploration and flow. Before an oil field goes into production, it passes through several stages: first it does a study of the area, recognizing the location, using advanced technologies to find oil in the sea, and the most used method and the seismic method. Proof of oil in a well is only proven after the well is drilled. Having proof of oil in the well, he makes a study of economic capacity in the well. All of this involves Geologists, Geophysicists, Engineers, Economists, Machinery and Equipment necessary for production. The pipeline is the most economical and safest way to transport oil.
