Abstract
Water flooding is one of the economically viable techniques for recovery of additional oil from mature fields. However, the brine used for water flooding frequently contains suspended fine particles, which can be deposited over the formation injection face and inside the near-wellbore formation to reduce the injectivity of the water-flooding wells. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the economic life of the water-injection wells and the treatment frequencies required for stimulation of the damaged wells. In this chapter, the preliminaries of and models for prediction of the injectivity decline of the water-flooding wells are reviewed and demonstrated by typical applications.
