About the Course:
Low Salinity Waterflood has attracted a real attention and been recognized
as an effective Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) process Worldwide. Although it
is now firmly established that the process can add significant increment in
- il volumes to field recovery, the process has to have an integrated
- ptimisation. Historically, Low salinity waterflood (LSW) has been seen as
primarily the domain of the reservoir engineer but, given that problems can
become manifest across virtually all disciplines, a fully integrated
development needs the successful input of all of those disciplines.
This course is designed to provide reservoir, wells, surface production and
- ther aspects required for successful water flooding plus avoiding main
reasons for failures. It presents a comprehensive coverage of analytical
and applied aspects of water flooding including rock and fluid properties,
theory, prediction methods, surface production facilities, and water flood
problems and optimization. Water affects every stage of oilfield life from
exploration through development, production, and finally to abandonment.
The course covers LSW process description, geology effects, injection
patterns and selection, injectivity issues, calculation of Voidage
replacement ratio (VRR), and design’s procedure. Furthermore, the course
provides all components of produced water analysis and its required
chemical treatment schemes and units. It describes important measurements
- f water flooding to identify main problems, examine treatments and provide
solutions. In addition, LSW flooding management is covered with flow chart
and required simulation cases. Actual field cases for optimum application
will be explained with in-class exercises and industry videos.
