How has technology evolved in the oil field? // Oil Venezuela

The scientific advances in petroleum, as well as all the advances in favor of its production and development have been of wide and diverse coverage. Since the discovery of the first deposits in Venezuela and the world have been able to decipher many questions about the properties and characteristics of hydrocarbons, especially in extra-heavy crude, such is the case of the oil we have in the Orinoco Oil Belt, whose oil it is heavy and extra heavy, for its later production, transport and refining, different techniques have been applied that help to a better handling, and not only that but it can get to have this type of oil within the categories of commercial oil with the application of various treatment techniques for its extraction.

From the discovery of the first deposits to the present, there have been achievements to achieve high productivity indexes, optimum quality in the products derived from its refining, and above all a high significance in the expansion of markets, in this case the importance of incorporation to OPEC. We can not ignore all the efforts to have all the innovative conditions to preserve the environment, in turn giving huge and decisive steps in terms of internationalization and globalization of the global oil industry.

The existing interest that must exist between the national oil industry and our society in being able to be based on an idea and an "oil culture" approach, is a need that must be consolidated with a full knowledge of what the hydrocarbon business means. All these expectations that mutually have both society and national state enterprise is that all the technological and scientific advances can be contributed in a great way to increase the oil production when it is required, and that in turn everything generated by this business is perceived for the welfare of society.

Several considerations have to be made so that we understand the current oil culture, and analyze the steps that have been taken in applied technology in oil:

• The first is that you can not love what you do not know and this is precisely the reason that explains the distance that has traditionally been noted between oil and our culture. Each and every one of the citizens of an oil country has to understand the importance of the fundamental engine for the economy of a country such as the oil industry. The path to follow transiting began with the need to know everything related to our petroleum resources in order to achieve a trajectory that allows us to understand them, appreciate them, value them, love them.

• Oil has been the very essence of our contemporary reality; It can not, therefore, pretend the development of the country outside the knowledge of oil, nor can pretend to know about oil without the full understanding of its significance for the country. All this translates into the faithful relationship that must exist between society and oil industry, if we are an oil nation we can not live on the sidelines without knowing this business, and we can not live knowing oil without knowing and understanding the reality that our peoples live on. contemporary world.

• Everything related to oil, must be a set of actions that do not work in isolation to make known about oil, must be framed in a set of actions that are framed all oil knowledge under the name of a " Oil Education Program ".

All the oil evolution that has taken place in technology is the product of almost 140 years of experiences related to the search, location, quantification, production, transportation, transformation, marketing, sales and marketing of hydrocarbons around the world.

We only need to see the future developments in new technologies, especially in the area of ​​drilling, since the fluids used for the construction of the phases of the holes to my understanding must evolve to be more friendly to the environment and more compatible with aquifer formations. Also in the field of production and generation of energy through oil must mean the massification of the capacity of human welfare.
