520 _aIt is widely known the adverse impacts that the continuous increase in the volume of produced water has on oil production operation and reserves recovery. New technologies have been successfully developed and implemented to minimize de economic and environmental consequences of water production. The Down hole oil/water separation system (DOWS), which was developed by the Centre for Engineering Research Inc. (CFER), allows to separate the produced water down hole and its later injection on the same well. The system has proved to be technically and economically profitable in mature reservoirs reducing the lifting cost, production facilities cost and environmental risk associated with the handling of large volumes of produced water at surface. Repsol-YPF produce, separate, treat and dispose of over half million barrels of water per day in La Ventana and Vizcacheras fields in the Cuyo basin in Mendoza province. They produce 29 and 30 °API oil respectively with a high percentage of water. A pilot field trail was carried out in these fields using DOWS technology. This equipment was installed on two wells producing with electrical-submersible pumps, one in VM-097 well (La Ventana) and the other in Vi-284 well (Vizcacheras). This report describes the separation system implemented, the candidate wells selected, the results of the pilot field trails and the current flooded project based on Vizcacheras pilot result.
