| Sumario: | The supply of proppants to unconventional reservoirs is one of the biggest challenges that oil companies are facing in order to complete wells on time while minimizing costs. With this in mind, this article seeks to propose alternatives for supplying proppants to wells and to develop an evaluation using Monte Carlo simulation, which is one of the best tools based in lowest cost criteria. Results of this research show how under the given conditions and estimations, the best alternative the direct import is done by the oil company, considering that the cost is lower compared with other options such as buying the oil from a technical service company or from a third-party import company. |
