Abstract:Injecting energy into the reservoir is a suite of injection techniques used by the oil and gas industry for producing more oil. Injecting a large amount of water is called ‘waterflooding’ which improves oil production by sweeping the hydrocarbon fluids towards the producer well and by increasing the reservoir pressure. Waterflooding imposes a new set of challenges to understand the connectivity between wells, fault compartments, and reservoirs.
Water flooding in mature fields offers a significan… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
