Water Flooding Management

Course Overview

This Energy training course is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of water flooding as a secondary oil recovery method. It will cover the key concepts and practical aspects of this technique, aiming to enhance participants’ knowledge and skills in managing and optimizing water injection systems for improved oil recovery.

The objectives of the Water Flooding Management training course include:

  • Understanding rock and fluid properties for better reservoir characterization
  • Acquiring, analyzing, and managing water flood data
  • Identifying factors that influence water flood recovery
  • Assessing water flood production performance and making reservoir forecasts
  • Monitoring water quality
  • Optimizing water flood projects
  • Exploring enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications as an extension of water flooding
  • Reviewing field examples and case studies to apply theoretical knowledge

Course Objectives

By the end of this Water Flooding Management training course, participants will be able to:

  • Gain comprehensive knowledge of water injection technology and understand the complete water flooding process as a key method for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR).
  • Identify various reservoir drive mechanisms and production characteristics.
  • Apply techniques to evaluate water flood performance efficiency and examine the design considerations for water injection systems.
  • Understand the impact of reservoir and fluid characteristics on the injection process and how to correlate reservoir engineering data with injected water.
  • Assess the effects of recovery factors and reserves, and explain the functioning of water injection systems based on different water sources and reservoir requirements.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of pressure maintenance and oil displacement through injected fluids.
  • Describe the water flooding process, including its design, operation, and monitoring aspects.
  • Introduce the concept of immiscible gas injection in oil reservoirs, exploring techniques and calculation methods for immiscible gas/oil displacement, along with compositional effects.
  • Discuss methods for monitoring the displacement process effectively.
  • Understand the role of filters and deaeration in water injection systems, and identify the types of filters used.
  • Examine seawater corrosion characteristics and the relationship between microbiological growth (such as bacteria, diatoms, and algae) and corrosion.
  • Apply various tests to evaluate water quality, including sample collection, transportation, and testing frequencies for particle counts.
  • Explore thermal methods of EOR, such as hot water and steam injection, and gain insights into the polymer injection process.
