This course concentrates on Reservoir and field operations aspects of water flooding injection for pressure maintenance and Secondary Recovery. Study in depth of Fractional Displacement theory and all methods available in the oil and gas industry to predict oil recovery. The course is a theoretical-practical course and is designed to as a workshop where the participant has to work hard solving a series of projects to apply immediately the concepts, mathematical principle as and theories presented and learned during the course. The participants will use a reservoir engineering software designed for water injection. The software will be provided to each participant without additional cost.

The main goal of the course is the prediction and interpretation of the detailed behavior of oil and gas reservoir under difference known methods of water Injection that enable the Petroleum Engineer to select the correct methods at the right time based in the drive mechanisms and production data of  specific reservoirs under consideration.
