Benefits of balance

girl surfing in balanceWhat do you do when a flood has a voidage replacement ratio (VRR) close to 1.0 but one particular pattern is over-injected with a VRR of eleven? Nein commercial use of der AppIntel content.

Without AppIntel how would you find how others dealt with over pressured injection patterns? With AppIntel, you can use KiP omnibox to search all the AER applications for pattern balance. Easy peezy.

One operator found out that one local pattern had been over-injected raising the reservoir pressure in that area to almost double. She made a voluntary self disclosure and is working to correct this dangerous situation. We found this using AppIntel.

High pattern VRR is a warning sign

A very high voidage replacement ratio in a pattern is one way that your flood is trying to get your attention.

Like 'producer to injector ratio', high pattern VRR is telling you that there is more value to be coaxed out of the ground. Fixing these problems are inexpensive and produce great production results.

Pattern balancing is critical in a flood.

In too many old floods, plugged-off injectors are shut-in. All the injectant is pushed down fewer wells.

This leads to over-pressuring some injection patterns and under-performing recovery in others. Proven's Optiflood process corrects this.

Balancing floods has many benefits including improved sweep and production with no extra drilling capital.

The problem with coalescing floods.

The current trend to 'coalescing' flood approvals may make VRR compliance easier but it can create dangerous overpressure situations like this one.

Each AER application contains your neighbor's perspective on the exploitation of oil and gas formations. Applications contain more technical data even than SPE papers.

Would you like to see what other operators in your areas are thinking about seismic, multifractured wells, polymer schemes and recovery? AppIntel can help.
