COURSE OVERVIEW
Water flooding has been recognized as the most popular improved oil recovery Worldwide. This course covers the concept of waterflooding management with emphasis on reservoir engineering, monitoring and surface facilities aspects plus simulation of Waterflooding. It combines the definition and required surface and subsurface activities of waterflood management.
Participants will learn the elements and flow chart of waterflood management such as; primary recovery mechanisms, water injection patterns and their effects on oil recovery.
Other concepts will be covered including prediction of waterflood performance using classical techniques of linear fractional flow theory and prediction of sweep efficiency (areal, vertical and displacement). In addition, waterflood surveillance techniques such as production plots (rate-time, rate-cum, WOR-cum, etc.), Voidage Replacement Ratio (VRR) analysis, production logging tools plus simulation and optimization of waterflooding with field cases. The course contents are designed as an interactive environment with actual industry videos and solved examples to provide a clear illustration of important aspects and concepts of water flooding
