Water flooding has been widely used in the industry since 1954 as a secondary recovery technique to improve recovery from oil reservoirs. This course will highlight some basics (Wettability, Capillarity, Buckley Leverette & frontal advance theories) and practical applications to estimate the recoverable reserve using Analytical and Empirical methods (Dykstra Parson) via hands on approach. The main technical issues & challenges affect the performance and efficiency of water injection to achieve its objective will also be emphasized. The issues & challenges to be highlighted and discussed in the course are: - Structure uncertainties (barriers, faulting & continuity) - High failure rate of Commingled injection of thick and thin bed reservoirs - Injectivity deterioration caused by poor water quality specification and fine migration. -Frac injection vs Matrix injection: the pros and
cons.
Upon completion of this course, participants
will have a good exposure to the practical
aspects of waterflooding implementation in
the field, and a theoretical background to field
practitioners.
