RE:waterfloods increasing production?
RE:waterfloods increasing production?Waterflooding increases the oil flow from the 30 per day up to over 70 (over time). it arrests the
further decline and let the flow (of water and oil) increase (due to increased pressure).
At a certain point it peaks and then it goes down again at a more moderate rate than primary
was going. what you see is that 25% of the producing wells become injectors (where water gets
injected into the ground) and also there are still close to 25-30 wells that are still before their
water flooding and there were 17 more untill mid november on top of the 7 that are now
injectors for the otter waterfloodings. the total was still going down, but at a lower and lower rate
and once the otter ones start responding it should move over the tipping point and increase (due
to the lower decline and production from the ones before flooding and increased production from
the waterflooding projects.
That is the entire idea behind the waterflooding.
