When constructing the water saturation profile, it

should be noted that no water saturation with a
value less than Swf, i.e., 59.6%, exists behind the
leading edge of the water bank. xsw 0.765682 *Dfw/Dsw
Assume water saturation values in the range of Swf
to (1 – Sor),i.e., 59.6% to 75%, and calculate the
water saturation profile as a function of time by
using Equation 14-36:

Plot the water saturation profile as a function of
distance and time, as shown

Combining the above two

expressions and solving for the
time to break-
through tBT gives:

Assuming a constant water-

injection rate, the cumulative
water injected
at breakthrough is calculated
from Equation 14-39 as:

It is convenient to express the cumulative water

injected in terms of pore volumes injected, i.e.,
dividing Winj by the reservoir total pore vol- ume.
Conventionally, Qi refers to the total pore volumes
of water injected. From Equation 14-40, Qi at
breakthrough is:
