Common Denominators for
Management of Waterfloods on
a Worldwide Basis
Why Inject Water?
A. Maintain Reservoir Pressure –
Pressure Maintenance
B. Increase Reservoir Pressure –
Waterflooding
C. Supplement Natural Water Influx
But . . .
A, B & C are Displacement Processes and the
Goal is to Displace Oil to a Production Well
Worldwide Reminders When Managing
Waterflood Activities
Volumetric Sweep
WOR Analysis
Waterflood Quarterback
Np ≈ N*EA*EV*ED
Np = Cumulative Waterflood Recovery, BBL.
N = Oil in Place at Start of Injection, BBL.
EA = Areal Sweep Efficiency, Fraction
EV = Vertical Sweep Efficiency, Fraction
ED = Displacement Efficiency, Fraction
Waterflood Recovery Factor
Np RF E A * EV * ED
RF
N EVOL
EA = f (Mobility Ratio, Pattern, Directional
Permeability, Pressure Distribution,
Cumulative Injection & Operations)
EV = f (Rock Property variation between
different flow units)
EVOL = Volumetric Sweep of the Reservoir by
Injected Water
ED = f (Primary Depletion, Krw & Kro, μo & μw)

Waterflood Statistics
Conditions at Start of Waterflood
Connate Water Saturation = 22 percent
Gas Saturation = 8 percent
Oil Saturation = 70 percent
Residual Oil Saturation = 31 percent
Oil Viscosity = 0.3

Cumulative Oil Production Since Start of = 40,000

Decline Curve Analysis
Assume
Gas Fillup has been Achieved (Reservoir contains oil
and water
Reservoir Pressure is Approximately Constant (Bo is
constant)
Steady State Flow Prevails (Approximately)
Conclusion
Water Injection = Liquid Production (at Reservoir
Conditions)

Conculsion:
Oil and Water Production Rates are directly related to
injection rates. Therefore, DCA of qo vs t or qo vs Np
must be evaluated only after giving consideration to
historical and projected water injection rates.
