Waterflooding Management in Reservoir Training Course

Overview Objectives Audience Methodology Contents Certificate FAQ's

Course Overview

Water-flooding has been proven as the simplest and the lowest cost approach to maintaining production and increasing oil recovery from an oil reservoir. However, these benefits may fall short of expectations unless the time-tested concepts and practices are clearly understood and judiciously implemented. These concepts and practices aim at process optimization, reducing production cost while minimizing waste and maximizing oil recovery and income. Water flooding includes surface and subsurface challenges and activities. These challenges should be well studied to have successful water flooding projects.

This course introduces the geologic and engineering concepts and technology of Water Injection Technology. Participants will get a chance to learn various recovery methods challenges and solutions with practical examples. The course will provide the participants with a complete and up-to-date overview of the area of Water Injection technique.

Learning Objectives

By the end of Water Flooding Management in Reservoir training course, participants will learn to:

Apply and gain in-depth knowledge of water injection technology and determine the water flooding process
Recognize the various elements of reservoir drive mechanisms and producing characteristics
Employ the methods pertaining to water flood performance efficiencies and the design aspects of the water injection system
Distinguish the influence of the reservoir and fluid characteristics on the injection process and determine the relationship between reservoir engineering data and injected water
Evaluate the different effects of the recovery factor and reserves
Demonstrate an understanding of the principles involved in pressure maintenance & oil displacement by an injected fluid.
Describe the process of water flooding by identifying its design, operation and monitoring
Explain concepts utilized in monitoring the displacement process.
Explain the functions of water injection systems through filters and deaeration and identify the various types of filters
Apply the several tests used to evaluate water quality, including the process of collecting samples, transport of samples and test frequencies for particle counts
Discuss the chemical, miscible and thermal methods of EOR and polymer injection process

Target Audience

All engineers and technical staff (Superintendents, Supervisors & Foremen) whose responsibilities include the safe and cost-effective operation of water injection systems. Management will also benefit by increasing their awareness of the cost-effective use of treatment chemicals and by developing their skills in the analysis of water quality data. Further, this seminar is suitable for Corrosion Personnel, W.I. Personnel, Lab Personnel, Chemists and Chemical Engineers.

Training Methodology

Our highly practical experiential learning method is results-oriented; based on an adult learning concept. The course is designed as a blended environment of presentation; workshops; group work; practical exercises; field application/ case studies, analysis and several industry videos showing all processes; and general discussions. The course will include real case studies in the oil and gas industry. Most of the cases studies have been presented in international journals by the instructor.

Pre & Post course assessments will be used to measure the effectiveness of this training and measure the skill and ability of participants.
