Basedonthecorrelationsperformeditwasdefinedthatthestructuralstratigraphicconfigurationofthe
Otates field is controlled mainly by twenty two (22) faults, pinchout (wedging) and lateral facies
changes. Of the mentioned faults, six (6) are considered as main faults because of the magnitude of

classifiedassecondary.

thereplacementoftheoriginalvegetationbyproductivehumanoriginated(anthropogenic)whichhave
taken place over the last few years. The predominant vegetation now is pastures and agricultural
products for autoconsumption. The predominant activity in the area occupied by the field is cattle
ranching and therefore the soil shows, in general, a certain level of physicalbiotic degradation of the

cut to 575 m3/m3 y 60%, respectively. The large volumes of injected water caused increased water
saturation in some areas of the reservoirs forcing the closure of some wells because of high water
production(Figure2.7.)

Exploratory drilling in the field Sanchez Magallanes was started in 1957 with the drilling of Sanchez
Magallanes3well,whichbeginproductiononDecember27,1957.Usingadualcompletion,itproduced
oil of 33 API and gas from three (3) sands: 12921294, 12481251 m (lower zone) with an initial

to presence of paraffin and sand in the wells. This problem was solved by placing sieves and using

chemical products. Production was reestablished and reached 28,000 bpd of oil and 34.0 MMcfpd of
gasbetween1969and1972.
Beginning in 1973, the field showed an almost constant decline, with an increase in water production
andGOR,untilproductiondroppedto7,900bpdofoiland12MMcfpdofgas.Forthatreasonin1978a
waterinjectionsystemwasinstalledforthereservoirsthathadexperiencedthelargerpressuredrops
(depressured wells.) The later observed behavior showed a medium response to the water injection
despitethelargeinjectedvolumes(lowefficiency).Thesestrongperiodicvolumesofinjectedwatermay
have contributed to the considerable increase in the water cut due to premature emergence of the
waterintheproducingwells.
In1986,sixwellswerecompletedinawetgasreservoirsix(6)wellsthatproduced21MMcfpdofgas.
The reservoir experienced pressure drop and within a year only three (3) wells were producing 5
MMcfpdfromthereservoir.

an infill drilling program was initiated in the Southern portion of the field which resulted in a small

ThemaintenanceoftheproductionfacilitiesofPEMEXisappliedinaccordancetospecificrequirements
ofeachtypeofequipmentandfunctionitperforms,withtheobjectiveofmakingsuretheyoperatefree
of failures, avoid risks to the personnel, the installations, the environment and the production at
competitive costs and in accordance with the strategic business plan. The CincoPresidentes Asset,
aligned with the strategic objectives of PEP to optimize the resources using improved maintenance
systems and processes, installed a system of maintenance administration known as SAM which, using
the integration of worldclass best practices, offers a model for standardization and optimization for
maintenance management. The SAM model is supported by four (4) phases of maturity of the
maintenanceorganization,beginningatstagezero,namedreactivemaintenance.
