1 Day Course: Waterflood Surveillance for Asset Optimization/Acquisition

Friday, June 5, 2009
The Metropolitan Conference Centre
333 Fourth Avenue South West
The Plaza Room (2nd floor)

We invite you and your colleagues to attend our upcoming course. An overview of the principles of waterflood surveillance and diagnostics will be discussed. Earth sciences and engineering data are integrated to provide improved prediction of waterflood performance and optimization of hydrocarbon recovery. The following topics are covered:

What is reasonable recovery?
Common causes of waterflood 'failure'
Using surveillance techniques to understand waterflood performance
Various techniques used in analyzing a waterflood will be introduced including:

Composite Plot analysis;
Decline Analysis; what is physically going on;
GOR vs. Time, WOR vs. Time;
WOR vs. Cumulative Oil Plot;
Throughput rate;
Conformance Plot;
Comparing Voidage Replacement Ratio vs. Time with pressure data;
Gas fill up consideration;
Derivative of WOR vs. Time;
Hall plot.
Numerous field examples will be presented. This course will be of interest to anyone who wants to know how waterflood surveillance can be used to improve their waterflood performance.
