What is Waterflood Management
The Waterflood Management course provides for a comprehensive review of all aspects of water-inundation schemes that are the most tested, lowest cost and relevant to various types of dams for improved oil production (EOR).
The numerous steps to be taken in the implementation of the Water-Flow include a cursory screening of candidate areas, scheduling of schemes, project design (including pilot design) and estimating the anticipated incremental oil recovery and output efficiency, using the most common analytical and numerical methods in the industry, including stiles and Dykstra-Parsons.
Various techniques used to track and control water flow projects for maximizing oil recovery will be addressed, including Hall Plot calculations, VVR calculations, pattern balancing and re-alignment, volumetric sweeping performance, output monitoring, injection issues and solutions, and conformance enhancement.
Numerous interesting case studies will be examined to demonstrate the performance monitoring and optimization of water inflow projects from different parts of the world. Add-on solutions to enhance oil recovery, including the injection of polymer and fuel, will be discussed.

The proposed dates depend on the total number of participants required to complete the course.
