Abstract:A significant amount of bypassed oil resources often remain in a mature waterflooding reservoir because of non-uniform sweep caused by natural complexities of a subsurface reservoir and improper management of the reservoir. Infill drilling is one of the most attractive options for increasing oil recovery in consequence of its operational simplicity, low risk and promising results. Determining optimal infill well placements in heterogeneous mature reservoirs is a critical and challenging task that has a signifi… Show more
