Waterflooding: Chemistry

Abstract

Used successfully for more than a century, waterflooding remains the most widely performed process relying on an external energy source to maximize reservoir recovery. Multiple factors across a wide range of disciplines contribute to the delivery of a fully optimized project, but not all of these critical success factors have been well-documented. A focus on further optimizing all the varying parts of the process has emerged over time to deliver project success. Waterflooding: Chemistry explores in detail the significant impacts that chemistry-related issues can have on the progress of waterflood projects.
