Evaluation of reservoir performance by waterflooding: case based on Lanea oilfield, Chad

Abstract The research of the current study is primarily focused on evaluating reservoir performance by utilizing waterflood technique, based a case at Lanea oil field located in Chad; various mechanisms along with approaches were used considering best suitable pattern for waterflooding. All simulation work was compared against base case, where there no involvement water injection. Moreover, significant amount left behind and cannot be swept, because lower pressure downhill. recovery factor obtained range 14.5–15% since 2010, order to enhance production, an injection well applied boost pressure; improved. In addition, sensitivity analysis performed reach optimum production behavior achieved possible EOR method. Parameters, such as grid test, position, proper selection location, permeability, voidage substitution, defined study.
