Introducing a novel model and tool for design and performance forecasting of waterflood projects

History matching showed good agreement between field data and forecasting results. The forecasting model demonstrates a strong ability to forecast the oil saturation, recovery efficiency, cumulative oil recovery, oil cut and oil rate changes with time. In addition, predicting the recovery efficiency enables us to generate the volumetric efficiency change with time which is of great importance for studying and evaluating waterflood process. These valuable results are produced using a few input data required.
