"Tight Oil Waterflood – Forecast Results and Controlling Factors"

Historically, waterflooding with vertical wells has been limited to reservoirs with greater than 10mD permeability. However, hydraulically fractured horizontal wells have decreased that lower permeability limit.

This presentation addresses the practicality of waterflooding tighter reservoirs and identifies the predominant controlling factors that govern secondary recovery from hydraulically fractured horizontal wells in low permeability reservoirs. In addition to presenting Pembina Cardium forecast results, we’ll also address the influence each of the following factors has on potential field performance:

1. Reservoir permeability
2. Mobility ratio (oil viscosity)
3. Fracture length

Please join us to learn more about how we can help improve the effectiveness of your waterflood design and improve recovery from tight oil reservoirs. Lunch will be provided.
