Prediction of Waterflooding Performance in Non-Communicating Layered Reservoir

The lack of sufficient natural drive in most reservoirs has led to the practice of
supplementing the natural reservoir energy by introducing some form of artificial
drive, the most basic method being the injection of gas or water. One of the
objectives of waterflooding is to displace oil from reservoir.
The purpose of the project is to study the performance of the waterflooding on noncommunicating
layered reservoir. Analytical works based on Buckley-Leverett
Method has been used and an enhance method for predicting waterflooding
performance has been implemented. With different cases on mobility ratio,
waterflooding performance such as oil and water production is varied as the viscosity
of the displacing fluid helps in recovering the oil.
