Abstract
ABSTRACT In recent years techniques using wave properties have been developed or adapted for measuring fluid injection fronts in assisted oil recovery processes. Also, tracer and pressure transient tests are being used increasingly to track and diagnose problems in these processes. This paper, summarizing the companion paper, "Diagnostic Tools for mapping EOR Processes," briefly describes each technique and its strengths and weaknesses. Conditions for most advantageous application are given. The chief considerations in selection of a suite of mapping and diagnostic techniques for an EOR project are discussed. The selection process is illustrated by three hypothetical examples which are typical for operations in larger California oil fields. The techniques are most effective when used in combinations and in conjunction with all other reservoir information available.
