Water flooding is one of the most important methods of improving recovery from oil reservoirs. This section of the course concentrates on reservoir and field operations aspects of water injection for pressure maintenance and secondary recovery. Participants will study fractional displacement theory and all methods available in the oil & gas industry to predict oil recovery. The course is a theoretical practical course where participants have to work towards solving a series of projects, and to immediately apply the concepts, mathematical principles and theories presented and learned during the course. Laptop/computers will be used to solve problems related to water flooding.

1. To understand and practice the prediction and interpretation of oil & gas reservoirs under different known methods of water Injection.

2. To review primary recovery mechanisms through the fundamentals of rock and fluid interaction to the application of classical waterflood prediction techniques.

3. Technical knowledge of waterflood pattern options and the effect of selection and orientation on flood performance.

4. Computer understanding the use and of Material Balance Software (MBE)

5. Injection Wells Specifications, Control and Hall Plot as a Monitoring Tool of after Injection Wells

6. Discussion on “Practical Reservoir Management for Mature Waterflooding”.
