This intermediate-level course on Waterflood Design, Surveillance, and Implementation offers practical, case study-based learning for reservoir engineers looking to optimize oil recovery using waterflooding techniques. It covers the fundamentals of waterflood mechanics, operational factors, and different approaches tailored for various reservoir types including conventional, fractured, and tight formations. The course emphasizes reservoir surveillance and diagnosing performance issues often overlooked in traditional simulation-focused studies. Learners will explore production profiles, recovery factors, and flood pattern designs through real-world field examples and recommended workflows. The objective is to equip engineers with skills to effectively monitor, forecast, and enhance waterflood performance in diverse and complex reservoirs.Read more...
