floodOPT

For many mature fields, significant optimization potential may exist without introducing new wells. The goal is to achieve patterns that are more balanced and minimize fluid recycling. However, until now there has been no easy way to identify injection patterns or areas of inefficiency beyond standard surveillance and tie back to reservoir simulation. FloodOpt is a tool that assists the reservoir engineer to manage large water floods by re-balancing well rates from streamline-generated data. Features

• floodOPT is based on either a surveillance or simulation run.
• Any number of producers and injectors can be included along with individual well rate targets.
• Field level water injection or oil production target.
• Automatically pass rate targets back to 3DSL (or Eclipse) for forecasting in a simulation model.
• Export rate targets to Excel.
