Margin protection for erosion control
Marginal protection for erosion control in oil field
Erosion problem in oil well
Surface water from an oil well presents a big problem due to its large production volumes and the few final disposal options that exist, resulting in an erosion problem in the oil field well.
When it is not possible to reinject the water in its entirety back into the well, it is dumped directly into the nearest water source, taking into account the regulatory parameters established by the environmental corporation, in order to avoid a major problem for wildlife. , vegetation and population. If the impact with which the water is discharged is not controlled, it can generate phenomena of scour in the river bed, dragging of material on the banks and overflow of the tributary.
The containers HYDROBLOCKS They are designed to be filled by mechanical or hydraulic means with material in situ, obtaining a mass and volume that helps to form shore protection systems for erosion control and their rehabilitation. They have high resistance to tension, tearing and punching. Similarly, they are impregnated with a resin that makes them more weather resistant and resistant to naturally aggressive humid environments.
The role of each geosynthetic in the erosion control system
The use of woven geotextiles, such as FORTEX BX 40, in the formation of the protection of the slope, guarantees that, in a phenomenon of rapid discharge of the channel, the slope has the capacity to evacuate the water, relieving the pressures and avoiding the migration of the fines, promoting a better condition of stability and long-term durability.
He ARTICULATED COLCHACRETO It is used as a hydraulic protection structure against erosion and lateral and bottom scour of rivers, in lakes, rivers and seas. Its shape similar to rounded pebbles helps to dissipate the energy of the water and its articulated system, by means of the reinforcing tendons, is arranged in such a way that they are embedded in the set filler mixture and aligned with the median plane of the coating, increasing its integrity and allowing it to adapt to any deformation of the ground.
Finally, geogrids like THE GEOMASTER HYDROMESH 80 are used as structures protection hydraulics against erosion and lateral and bottom scour of rivers, in lakes, rivers and seas. They offer flexibility and hydraulic stability. They have the ability to dissipate the energy of water, since they are containers that are filled with rock or gravel edges, generating an articulated system like a mattress. They have high tensile strength, do not degrade due to corrosion, and are highly durable to the elements and abrasion.
A solution with Geosynthetics for erosion control
For the marginal protection for erosion control, the extension of the hydraulic section of the river is suggested, protecting the right bank with the conformation of a system with containers made with woven geotextile, HYDROBLOCKS distributed in a staggered manner to generate stability, and woven geotextile on the back FORTEX BX 40 for soil separation and to avoid the migration of fines once it is exposed to a constant volume of water, with lining in the upper part of the slope with ARTICULATED QUILT. In the same way, at the foot of the slope, it is convenient to have a rockfill mattress with geogrid GEOMASTER HYDROMESH 80 backed with a non-woven geotextile FIBERTEX F-20, with the purpose of controlling the phenomenon of scour.
