This course provides a comprehensive review of all aspects of waterflooding, one of the most proven, cost-effective, and widely applicable Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods. It covers the full workflow of waterflood implementation, including preliminary screening of candidate fields, scheme planning, detailed project design (including pilot design), and estimation of incremental oil recovery and production performance.

The course also examines key surveillance and performance monitoring techniques used to optimize waterflood projects. Topics include Hall plot analysis, Voidage Replacement Ratio (VRR) calculations, pattern balancing and realignment, volumetric sweep efficiency evaluation, production logging, injectivity challenges and solutions, and conformance improvement methods. Numerous case studies from around the world are presented to illustrate practical approaches to performance monitoring and optimization.

In addition, add-on recovery schemes such as polymer flooding and gas injection are discussed as methods to further enhance oil recovery. The course incorporates class problems and group exercises to reinforce the technical concepts presented. Participants will receive a detailed, full-color course manual that serves as a valuable long-term reference.
