Identifying Water-Flow Problems
The most important element of conformance control in fields where water injection is used to enhance oil production is identifying the nature and source of the problem. Chemical analysis and water-flow logging can help operators isolate water-flow, invasion, and annular leaks that destroy casing integrity and decrease profitability. This article presents a case history that demonstrates use of analytical techniques to identify conformance-control problems and solutions.
