... to detect and estimate early and post water breakthrough trends respectively. Several models to forecast water breakthrough have been developed. Among them is the famous water cut (WC) versus cumulative production (N p ) plot. This paper presents two empirical models to address the inability of MPFM...

... Abstract The initial development of inflow tracers was initially designed to provide qualitative information about identifying the location of water breakthrough in production wells. The proof of concept and application for water detection, initiated the development of oil tracers for oil...

... to augmented production through increased reservoir contact. However, these wells pose severe production challenges due to variations in permeability, reservoir pressure as well as frictional pressure drop along horizontal length. Hence, equalizing inflow, delay water breakthrough, minimizing heel-to-toe...

... retention in porous media. An exact solution for 1-D flow problem for the case of constant filtration coefficient and Langmuir sorption isotherm, including explicit formulae for breakthrough concentration and pressure drop across the core is derived. The general model with varying filtration coefficient...

... risks, the team visualized a Steamflood field test using a small pattern area to reach quickly steam breakthrough and gather a minimum of the needed data in less than 1 year. The HSE integrated risk asssessment methodology presented in this paper is applicable to similar heavy oil green fields...

... with formic acid, a minimum of acid pore volume was observed at a gluconic: formic acids molar ratio of 1:7. This allowed the use of formic acid at 12.5 wt% without any observation of calcium formate precipitation. Gluconic-citric and gluconic-boric acid mixtures required as high as 4 PV to breakthrough...

... water breakthrough are challenging to achieve production longevity. Inflow Control Devices (ICD) is a proved tool in oil industry, which can delay the water encroachment by creating uniform drawdown across wellbore section. The production performance of ICD wells indicated stability of water cut...
