Abstract

This study analyzed the vulnerability of the assets of an oil field exposed to landslides, based on the potential loss of value due to damage to people, the environment, property and/or business, with the objective of making visible, prioritizing, planning, and executing actions to address risk areas, through the application of digital technologies.

This infrastructure management plan is determined from the study of landslides that occurred in the area, which are references to carry out a relative and quantitative analysis of the geological, geomorphological, environmental, and geotechnical characteristics of the roads, locations, or central processing facilities (CPF) of the oil field under study. The implemented methodology consists of taking advantage of public and free information (lithology and structure of surface geology, relief, location of bodies of water, geomorphology and its evolution over time seen in historical aerial photographs, and the ease of visualization and analysis in geographic information systems (GIS)), and the weighting and qualification of these attributes according to geotechnical engineering criteria in each area analyzed.

As a result of this vulnerability study, it was possible to identify 14 zones, corresponding to 7% of the studied area, (access roads, locations and/or central process facility) classified as highly vulnerable, which require more attention due to the potential to impact the environment. Environment and the property or affectations to the production of hydrocarbon fluids estimated at 767 BOPD, suspension of injection of 9.888 BWPD and limitation of the use of a central with a capacity of more than 100.000 BFPD (Cuéllar in Thesis master’s in advanced management of the promotion and exploitation of Infrastructure, Madrid, 2019).
