A Comparison of Waterflood Management Using Arrival Time Optimization and NPV Optimization

Waterflooding is currently the most commonly used method to improve oil recovery after primary depletion. The reservoir heterogeneity such as permeability distribution could negatively affect the performance of waterflooding. The presence of high permeability streaks could lead to an early water bre...
