Participants will learn the key elements and workflow of effective waterflood management, including primary recovery mechanisms, water injection patterns, and their impact on oil recovery performance. The course also covers prediction of waterflood performance using classical techniques such as linear fractional flow theory, as well as methods for estimating sweep efficiency (areal, vertical, and displacement efficiency). In addition, waterflood surveillance practices are discussed in detail, including analysis of production plots (rate–time, rate–cumulative, WOR–cumulative, etc.), Voidage Replacement Ratio (VRR) evaluation, and the use of production logging tools. Simulation and optimization of waterflood projects are also addressed through practical field case examples.

The course content is delivered in an interactive format that incorporates real industry videos and worked examples to provide clear illustration of key waterflooding concepts and operational practices.
