Provided by HOT Engineering
This is an intensive, applied course in waterflood design and management. Certain theoretical aspects of waterflooding (e. g. Buckley-Leverett fractional flow) will be briefly covered. Topics covered will include: reservoir performance analysis, well injectivity estimates, waterflood candidate selection, waterflood forecasting (includes hands-on analytical and simulation modeling), impact of heterogeneity on waterflooding, selection of waterflood pattern (technical and economic considerations), waterflood performance analysis (includes analysis of production decline and fall-off tests), and design of waterflood injection and production facilities. Participants will also work many exercises.

OUTLINE:
Introduction to waterflood
- The total system - injection, production, pattern
- Factors affecting optimization of the total system
- Waterflood design - a multi-disciplinary effort
- Waterflood patterns
- Operational constraints - waterflood offshore
Reservoir engineering fundamentals
- Why waterflood?
- Material balance and reservoir pressure prediction
- Flow regimes - diffuse and segregated flow
- Injectivity/ productivity calculations for different pattern types
- Areal and vertical sweep efficiency, displacement efficiency, recovery efficiency
Analytical models
- Waterflood design. Factors to consider in selection of pattern type and size.
- Analytical forecasting models: theory and application.
Simulation
- Hands-on waterflood reservoir simulation.
- Class will develop and run 3D model of one-eighth of 5-spot pattern using
ECLIPSE 100 (input data will be provided).
- Compare reservoir simulation and analytical model results.
Pattern selection
- Discounted cashflow analysis
- Selection of pattern based on economic criteria and operational constraints
Waterflood surveillance
- Decline curve analysis; injectivity and fall-off test analyses, Hall plot
- Infill drilling
Overview of waterflood facilities
- Reservoir Data Requirements for Waterflood Planning
- Waterflood Monitoring and Technology
- Facilities
- Tubular Goods into the Reservoir
- Microbiological Control of Waterfloods
- Scaling Issues
