About This Course
This introductory course in waterflood is aimed at introducing the participants to basic waterflood concepts using Excel based numerical problems. Several key concepts that will be discussed are components of recovery efficiency in waterflood, impact of Dykstra Parson coefficient, key design considerations in a waterflood project, distinction between matrix and fracture injection and their applications, evaluation of injection well performance and evaluation of performance of producers in a large waterflood project and water production mechanism in wells by means of diagnostic plots.
A number of numerical problems using Microsoft Excel will be used in the class to illustrate the various concepts.
