Description
SUITABLE:
Reservoir engineers or technical managers responsible for enhanced oil recovery studies and projects.
OBJECTIVES:
By the end of the course, delegates will:
- Know all the necessary elements in handling waterflood operations;
- Be able to prepare or handle waterflood operations, etc.
SUMMARY:
- Introduction: assessment of need for waterflooding
- Rock and fluid parameters: Review of petrophysical properties, capillary mechanism, concept of relative permeability, rock wettability, fluids mobility and mobility ration concept
- Evaluation of waterflood performance: empirical “statistical approach” methods, evaluation of oil recovery based on sweep coefficients, microscopic sweep efficiency, etc.
- Waterflooding
