Waterflood Optimisation
Waterflood Optimisation Through Advanced Data Analytics
The key to optimising oil recovery and determining production potential of waterflooded fields is through reservoir surveillance.​
​
​
The Challenges
One of the key challenges of reservoir management is pinpointing the source of excess water or EOR fluids in production wells​
The Solution
Waterflood optimisation workflow communication analysis uses production data to quickly identify reservoir flow pathways between wells
The Analysis
-
The analysis uses flow energy fluctuations and similarities in the injectors and producers production history along with PLT, perforation etc. to determine communication
-
The analysis translates into directional and magnitude rose map plots on a well location map
-
The rose map enables quick determination of injector flow patterns, injector and producer short-circuits and the magnitude of connections between injectors and producers
​
The Benefits
-
Very quick method to select wells which require reservoir flow conformance treatments
-
Helps to identify infill drilling targets
-
Identify high permeability layers and independent of initial geological work
-
Very visual and easy to communicate across all subsurface disciplines​
