Predicting Waterflood Recovery Performance: The paper states that for waterfloods, an ongoing prediction and surveillance program can determine ultimate recovery and improve timing of events, such as initial water breakthrough and peak production. This helps maximize oil recovery at the lowest water-oil ratio and operating cost level. Waterflooding is the most successful and widely...; Tags: Recovery, Performance, Petroleum Technology Transfer Council, Waterflooding; White papers 2002-02-01

Horizontal Waterflooding Increases Injectivity and Accelerates Recovery: Grand Resources was applying horizontal waterflooding in northeast Oklahoma's Bartlesville Sandstone to realize much higher injectivity, improved sweep, and accelerated recovery. The combined effect should improve present value (PV10) over five-fold, compared to conventional vertical waterflooding. This article highlights how Grand has successfully drilled an injection and two production wells...; Tags: Recovery; White papers 2004-03-01
Waterflooding: Geological Perspectives of Reservoir Engineering: The paper states that since the future value of a waterflood is based on the extrapolated price of oil, the economic analysis must accurately predict price trends if the project's economic goals are to be met. Prior to the onset of a waterflood, there must be an accurate evaluation and...; Tags: Petroleum Technology Transfer Council, Analysis; White papers 2002-02-01
