1st QUESTION
Water injection at constant rate 1000 B/D/well
with a direct-line drive pattern have fluid and rock properties as follows
Ø = 0.18; Swc = 0.20; Sor = 0.20; μo = 5 cP; μw = 0.5 cP; kro and krw (use data from
assignment 1)
And the geometry of injection data:
• Dip angle = 0
• Reservoir thickness = 40 ft
• Distance between injection wells = 625 ft
• Distance between injection and production well = 2000 ft
1st QUESTION
Assume diffused flow condition and injection begins at the
same time with oil producing from reservoir,

STEP 6 Cumulative oil production (after BT)
• fwe → from fractional flow curve
@ Swe = 0.45 → fwe = 0.699
N pd = Sw − S wc = ( S we − S wc ) + (1 − f we )Wid , ( PV )
• Kw (@ Sw = 0.82) = 40 mD
• Ko (@ Sw = 0.20) = 80 mD
Make a forecast for the reservoir behavior by plotting the cumulative oil production as a function of
the quantity of cumulative water injection (Wp) and the water-oil ratio at the surface (WORs)
