Germania Unit Rate Forecasting

Based on Other Waterflood

Pilots in the Spraberry Area

PUMP PROJECT

Objectives
To propose the location of new injection
wells in the Germania Unit.
To forecast the incremental oil recovery due
to waterflooding in other waterflood Pilot
area. The rate forecast is applied to
Germania Unit for economic purpose.

PUMP PROJECT

Coupling between injector and producer

Coupling between Injector

and Producers
1.

2.

The coupling is taken based

on the production response in
the on trend and off trend
wells during the waterflood
period.
This coupling could be used
to determine the new location
of injection wells.
