Abstract
Abstract A predictive model (PM) has been developed for water and polymer flooding for use in screening studies and feasibility analysis. The PM requires only a fraction of the computing time of numerical simulators, but includes most of the phenomena which affect flood performance. This is accomplished by combining a two-dimensional crosssectional model (using vertical equilibrium), with areal sweep correlations, and injectivity functions which gives results (oil rate versus time) which are suitable for economic analysis. The paper presents validations of the PM against simulator, analytical, and field results. A brief sensitivity analysis concludes the paper.
