Waterflooding: Injection Regime and Injection Wells

Used successfully for more than a century, waterflooding remains the most widely performed process relying on an external energy source to maximize reservoir recovery. Multiple factors across a wide range of disciplines contribute to the delivery of a fully optimized project, but not all of these critical success factors have been well-documented. A focus on further optimizing all the varying parts of the process has emerged over time to deliver project success. Waterflooding: Injection Regime and Injection Wells explores the benefits and drawbacks of both matrix and fractured injection and reviews the impacts that these injection regimes can have on waterflood performance.
