1 WATER FLOODING TUTORIAL 1
Excersis-1: Data for an oil reservoir which is proposed for
waterflooding is presented. Construct the fractional flow curve
for this reservoir. Capillary pressure gradients can be assumed
negligible.

Excersis-2: Oil is being displaced by water in a horizontal,
direct line drive under the diffuse flow condition. The rock
relative permeability functions for water and oil are as below:

2 WATER FLOODING TUTORIAL 1
Pressure is being maintained at its initial value for which
Bo = 1.3 Rb/stb and Bw = 1.0 rb/stb
1- Construct the fractional flow curve for the three cases
below
2- Determine the water saturation at floodfront
3- Calculate the end point mobility ratio of each case
4- What is the type of displacement in each case
5- Discuss your results
