Waterflood Performance Analysis Using MS Excel

This introductory course in waterflood is aimed at introducing the participants to basic waterflood concepts using Excel based numerical problems. Several key concepts that will be discussed are components of recovery efficiency in waterflood, impact of Dykstra Parson coefficient, key design considerations in a waterflood project, distinction between matrix and fracture injection and their applications, evaluation of injection well performance and evaluation of performance of producers in a large waterflood project and water production mechanism in wells by means of diagnostic plots.

A number of numerical problems using Microsoft Excel will be used in the class to illustrate the various concepts .

Description

This course is designed for petroleum engineers, reservoir engineers, production technologists, and other professionals involved in waterflood operations. Basic familiarity with Microsoft Excel is recommended.

Course Description

Introduction

Waterflood operations are critical for maximizing oil recovery, but analyzing their performance can be complex. This focused 3-day course empowers your team to harness the power of Microsoft Excel for efficient and insightful waterflood analysis. Participants will gain hands-on experience in building, interpreting, and utilizing Excel models to drive informed decision-making and optimize waterflood strategies.

Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Build: Construct Excel models for waterflood performance analysis, incorporating key reservoir parameters and operational data.

Analyze: Interpret model outputs to assess waterflood efficiency, identify trends, and predict future performance.

Optimize: Utilize Excel tools to evaluate different injection strategies and identify opportunities for improvement.

Troubleshoot: Apply Excel techniques to diagnose and resolve waterflood operational issues.

Communicate: Effectively present waterflood analysis results using clear and concise Excel visualizations.

Training Methodology

Interactive Lectures: Expert-led sessions covering waterflood fundamentals, Excel techniques, and model development.

Hands-on Exercises: Practical application of Excel tools to real-world waterflood scenarios.

Case Studies: Analyze and interpret waterflood data from actual field operations.

Group Discussions: Foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among participants.

Organisational Impact

Improved Reservoir Management: Enable engineers and technicians to make data-driven decisions, leading to increased production and improved recovery factors.

Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Streamline waterflood analysis processes, saving time and resources.

Cost Reduction: Optimize injection strategies and identify potential problems early, minimizing operational expenses.

Upskilled Workforce: Equip your team with valuable Excel skills applicable to a wide range of reservoir engineering tasks.

Personal Impact

By the end of the training the participant will feel confident in his understanding of

• How water displaces oil in porous media

• How to estimate water floodable oil

• How to estimate oil recovery by waterflooding

• How to monitor, analyze and optimize current waterflood projects

Who Should Attend?

Any subsurface personnel (Reservoir Engineer, Production Geologist, Petrophysicist or Production Technologist) at just about any experience level, from no waterflood experience to several years of waterflood experience.

The course will be delivered in a manner so that both beginners and experienced personnel will find the material very useful. The course content and real-life numerical problems have been selected to illustrate the fundamental concepts.
