Application of Advanced Analysis Techniques for Waterflood Management: A Case Study in a Large Heterogeneous Carbonate Reservoir

Abstract: Literature is replete with numerous techniques for waterflood analysis developed over the last four decades. Most of these techniques are in the form of simple diagnostic plots based on available production/injection and pressure data routinely gathered in the field. This paper illustrates a systematic methodology that integrates various diagnostic plots at field, sector, pattern and well levels. It shows the interaction between these levels and how the integration of different diagnostic techni… Show more

“…Since the 1960s, the universally accepted approach to optimization of mature onshore waterfloods is a) to divide fields into smaller units -usually reservoir blocks or well-centered patterns -and b) to optimize performance of each unit independently, while keeping in mind overall field infrastructure constraints (see e.g., [1], [2], [3]). While modern computing power allows optimization efforts through the use of full-field simulation even for large numbers of wells (see e.g.…”
