Resumen
The importance of oil over time has been dimmed due to the implementation of various other renewable energy systems, but it is still considered a fundamental energy product and will remain so until renewable energy reaches its full peak. Worldwide. Fossil fuel provides a high percentage of the energy generated in Colombia, and is the main sector on which the country's economy depends. The development and obtaining of this is essential for use in daily life, from fuel for transport vehicles with combustion engines, to obtaining domestic elements such as plastic and natural gas. There are different ways to obtain this raw material, one of them is artificial lifting, which consists of implementing mechanical aids to ensure that the crude oil reaches the surface. A failure of these components is lethal, since they generate high-value cost overruns, because production stops, specialized equipment is needed to carry out the Pull-in (return to the surface), additional costs in transportation, repairs, and must add payment for guarantees for all non-productive time (No Production Time NPT), which is why ways to avoid component failures must be sought as much as possible. This is why it is important to review the failures, analyze and disclose the root cause in order to determine an appropriate solution and a justified cause, seeking to mitigate NPT as little as possible, managing to reduce costs and repairs. unnecessary, and thus giving reliability to customers and generating loyalty to the company's products due to their good quality. So, in search of achieving these objectives, a recognition of particular failures was developed at the Alkhorayef Petroleum company, where a common failure 13 was found , which consists of the sudden rupture of axles, a specific case was the discovery of a failure in the intake system (gas separator), where the root cause of failure is not known, but it did impact costs. Likewise, continuous failures were evident in protector axes at the same point, for this reason, it is necessary to carry out the respective analysis of the probable failure and provide a possible solution to them. During the development of this document, different types of tests will be carried out using the resources that are available (scanning electron microscope, metallographic tests, ink tests, radiographs, ultrasound, non-destructive tests, etc.). analysis based on the results, a possible root cause of what happened will be provided, attaching conclusions and recommendations to avoid the continuity of failures for this same reason.
