Overview

The main technical issues & challenges affect the performance and efficiency of water injection to achieve its objective will also be emphasized. The issues & challenges to be highlighted and discussed in the course are: 

  • Structure uncertainties (barriers, faulting & continuity)
  • High failure rate of Commingled injection of thick and thin bed reservoirs
  • Injectivity deterioration caused by poor water quality specification and fine migration
  • Frac injection vs Matrix injection: the pros and cons.

This Waterflooding for Oil Reservoirs - Fundamentals, Practical Applications and Case Studies course is offered by Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS.

Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will have a good exposure to the practical aspects of waterflooding implementation in the field, and a theoretical background to field practitioners.
