Advantageous for its speed and far less data requirements, the Capacitance-Resistance Model has been successfully applied to waterflood performance prediction optimization, gas flood optimization reservoir characterization. In this study, a diagnostic plot an iterative workflow that incorporates geological well with calibrated CRM results, were developed depicting injector-producer communicatio...

The D reservoir in the Bongor Basin, southern Chad, is highly heterogeneous. In stage of waterflood development, injected water seriously channeled along dominant channel, and drive effect becomes worse. At same time, due to strong edge bottom water, flooding situation aggravated, cut increased, development efficiency reduced. To accurately identify inter-well connectivity relationship, we deve...

Abstract This paper presents an approach to optimize the recovery factor and sweep efficiency in a waterflooding process by automating optimum injection rate calculations for water injectors using streamline simulation. A simulator is appropriate tool modern waterflood management can be used determine dynamic interaction between injector producer pairs, which will vary over time based on operat...

Quasi-static rule-based network models used to calculate capillary dominated multiphase transport properties in porous media employ equilibrium fluid saturation distributions which assume that pores are fully filled with a single bulk fluid with other fluids present only as wetting and/or spreading films. We show that for drainage dominated three-phase displacements in which a non-wetting fluid...

In this paper we introduce a new analytical approach for management of waterfloods in heterogeneous reservoirs. The main contribution is the development of a process and metric to evaluate the pair-wise injector-producer (IP) relationships, i.e., to quantify the impact of any injection well on the neighboring producing wells. The proposed metric is particularly designed to consider the non-line...
