Permian Basin Waterflood Optimization

Challenge:
A mature asset with declining production (12% annual drop) and poor waterflood efficiency (45% injection water bypassing oil zones).

Solution:

• Conducted reservoir simulation using Petrel RE

• Redesigned injection patterns using tracer data

• Implemented conformance control with polymer gels

Results:
✓ 22% production increase (3,200 → 3,900 bopd)
✓ Injection efficiency improved to 78%
✓ Recovery factor boosted by 8%
