Monitoring, Analyzing, and Optimizing Waterflood Responses

Date: January 2008
Type: White Paper
Rating: (0)

Overview: During a waterflood, large amounts of injected water are used to maintain and/or increase oil production from a petroleum reservoir. This paper from SAS Institute shows how comparing the changes in oil, gas, and water production (relative to the water injection changes) helps assess fluid communication through a reservoir. The results are presented with special diagrams and contour maps, which show up to six communication parameters. The communication parameters are integrated with other geological parameters and used to develop predictive models. These predictive models help estimate the production capacity or production probability in waterflooded reservoirs.
