Question:

A waterflood is under consideration into a five-spot pattern area.

Data:

Initial water saturation = 0.25

Initial oil saturation = 0.75
Residual oil saturation = 0.35
Water viscosity = 0.5 cp
Porosity = 0.20
Reservoir thickness = 50 ft
Reservoir width = 200 ft
Distance between the injector and producer well = 1000 ft
Water injection rate = 500 bbl/day
Oil formation volume factor = 1.25 bbl/stb
Water formation volume factor = 1.02 bbl/stb

Relative permeability data can be obtained from:

S w − S wi
kro = (1 − SwD ) krw = 0.78SwD S wD =
2.56 3.72

1 − Sor − S wi

Calculate and plot;

a. Cumulative water injection as a function of time for µo = 0.5, 2.0, 4.0 cp oil viscosities.

b. Cumulative oil production (in stb) as a function of time for µo = 0.5, 2.0, 4.0 cp oil viscosities.

c. Cumulative water production as a function of time for µo = 0.5, 2.0, 4.0 cp oil viscosities.
