... to 1,200 ppm to control injectivity and optimize polymer utilization. Filter ratio tests conducted on site ensure uniform polymer solution properties. Injectivity is assessed by Hall plots, whereas production is monitored via oil and water rates from the two producers. Water samples are analyzed...

... ( Paskvan et al., 2016 ). The lower completions installed on both producers and injectors will have a strong influence on the risk of an MBE as well. The mechanisms explaining this influence are similar to those described above and will be detailed for individual completion types later in this paper...

... Abstract Summary In the early 1980's, waterflooding began in Belridge Diatomite (BD), a thick, highly porous, and tight reservoir in California. Over the years, differing injection strategies lead to mixed results. Today, there are approximately 1,900+ injectors and 2,600+ producers...

...) was developed to mitigate these limitations by combining bootstrap with CRM and provides stochastic answers. SCRM estimates probabilities of an initial solution using bootstrap, substitutes low probable parameter values with P50 values, and updates injector-producer connection pairs and its interwell...

... by keeping the steam chamber well drained, where liquid does not accumulate on top of the producer and steam is not produced. This is a challenging process even with the advances in well completions with smart or intelligent wells. In this study, the use of smart valves (ICVs) are investigated and their use...

... Abstract A hybrid Gas-Enhanced and Downhole Water Sink-Assisted Gravity Drainage (GDWS-AGD) process has been suggested to enhance oil recovery by placing vertical injectors for CO2 at the top of the reservoir with a series of horizontal oil-producing and water-drainage wells located above...

A smaller difference in well rates result into a smaller difference in pressure across the fault, which leads to a smaller rate of destabilization...
