Goals | Objectives |
| Identify and prioritise production optimisation opportunities | Generate production and formation pressure forecasts based on the bottom-hole pressure and injection rates |
| Identify and prioritise redevelopment opportunities | Assess productivity index of producing wells |
| Identify and prioritise surveillance candidates | Assess dynamic drainage volume around producing wells |
| Quantify connectivity between injectors and producers | |
| Assess water flood efficiency against expectations and / or between wells or well groups | |
Advantages | |
Limitations | |
| Fast-track | It only models injector-producer system |
| Requires minimum input data (BHP and rates only) | Requires eventful history of injection rates variations |
Robust procedure (no manual setups) | Requires productivity index of producers to stay constant |
| Does not involve full-field 3D dynamic modelling and associated assumptions | Requires the drainage volumes of all producers stay the same throughout the modelling period |
| Only applicable for specific subset of PSS fluid flow regimes |
