Tutorial 4

The document outlines two questions related to the performance prediction of oil reservoirs undergoing waterflooding, detailing relative permeability data, reservoir characteristics, and operational parameters. It requires calculations and graphical representations of recovery performance before, at, and after breakthrough, as well as water injectivity and areal sweep efficiency over time. The data provided includes flood patterns, viscosities, porosity, and other critical metrics necessary for analysis.

Question 1

An oil reservoir is under consideration for waterflooding. The relative permeability data are
given by the following expression:
𝑘 = 0.4(1 − 𝑆 )
) .
𝑘 = 0.3(𝑆
Where
𝑆 −𝑆
𝑆 =
1−𝑆 −𝑆
Other reservoir data are given below:
Flood pattern = Five-spot
Flood area = 40-acres
Oil viscosity = 2 cP
Water viscosity = 0.5 cP
Bo = 1.3 bbl/STB
Bw = 1.05 bbl/STB
Soi = 0.75
Swi = 0.25
Sor = 0.35
Swc = 0.25
Porosity = 15 %
k = 50 mD
rw = 0.3 ft
h = 20 ft
Pi = 1,000 psi
EV = 100 %
Assuming a constant water-injection rate of 800 bbl/day, predict the recovery performance
and express results in a graphical form at:
(a) Before breakthrough
(b) At breakthrough
(c) After breakthrough
Question 2
An oil reservoir is under consideration for further development by water-injection. The
relative permeability data are given below:
Sw 0.10 0.20 0.30 0.40 0.70 0.85
Krw 0.00 0.00 0.02 0.05 0.35 0.60
Kro 1.00 0.93 0.60 0.35 0.05 0.00

Additional data are given below:


Flood pattern = Five-spot
Absolute permeability = 70 mD
Thickness = 20 ft
Porosity = 15 %
Sgi = 15 %
Swi = 20 %
µo = 3.1 cP
µw = 1.0 cP
Bo = 1.25 bbl/STB
Bw = 1.01 bbl/STB
Pattern area = 40-acres
rw = 1.0 ft

ÆP = Pinj – Pwf = 1000 psia (constant)

(a) Calculate and plot the reservoir performance during the following stages:
i. Before breakthrough
ii. At breakthrough
iii. After breakthrough
