Research Studies on Water Coning, Preventive and Remedial Action That Can Be Taken.

This document discusses on the study of water coning and its preventive and
remedial action that can be taken. The objective of this study is to identify preventive
action that can be taken to prevent water coning from happening and identify
remedial action that can be taken after water coning is formed. The purpose of this
study is also to model the calculated critical rate and to model the breakthrough time
taken for the water cone. A reservoir that has strong water support in Sarawak
offshore is chosen to be modeled and preventive action (gellant treatment) is
modeled to find out whether it is a good solution to the water coning problem.
