... invasion identification signal. Then, the method of water control after water invasion is studied by turning off the perforation of the primary water production. Finally, the optimal water control scheme is obtained by comparing water and gas production. The results show that the reserve accuracy...

... for the source of water production are more difficult. Early reservoir management strategies are needed to effectively reduce unwanted water production. In this paper, we discuss a unique 4-stage process starting with reservoir analysis. Water coning and channeling are characteristic signatures in log-to-log...

... Abstract Water production during hydrocarbon extraction is a major problem for the upstream oil and gas industry. The challenge posed for operators is the increase in operational costs pertaining to separation, treatment, and disposal processes, amongst others. A wide assortment of scenarios...

... Abstract Produced water is an inevitable by-product from oil wells and the challenge lies in how to best manage it both economically and environmentally. A large cluster in the South of Oman with around 30 fields and more than 2000 active wells has a daily water production rate of more than...

... Abstract As oil fields mature, producing more oil out of maturing reservoirs entails more water production. It is essential to have a successful water management process to be introduce, one that can handle substantial volumes of water produced in order to sustain crude oil production...

... Abstract Undesired water production is the most common problem of most oil and gas wells. Oil and gas production may be restricted because of high producing fluid levels commonly associated with high water production. In 2000, Bailey et al . reported that 3 barrels of water were produced...

... Controlling undesired water production from oil and gas wells is one of the main goals in the petroleum industry. It should deserve high attention as it could minimizes the total reserves recovery across the globe. For instance, it causes liquid loading, sand production, fines migration, scale...

Another challenge that grows over the time during the development of a mature multi-layer reservoir is excessive water production that can be caused either due to water breakthrough over some target layers (the edge water or water from nearby injectors) or can come along the channels...
