Mature Water Flood Analysis is a workflow for identifying the performance gaps in the mature waterfloods performance.

The goal of the water flooding is to inject the least possible water to produce the most possible oil in the shortest possible time.

Upload the required data
Gridding - Divide the field into Patterns/Blocks/Buckets using the Bubble map by identifying dominant no-flow boundaries. No-flow boundary is a line in the reservoir where reservoir fluids do not cross. Oil and water on either side of the line flow away from this line.
Calculate well allocation factors, WAF, for blocks\patterns.
Calculate HCPV, HCPVinj, RF, VRR, VRRcum for each reservoir using blocks
Match total HCPV to STOIIP numbers by changing the edge Blocks areas
Make Plots (by field, by reservoir, by block): History, RF vs HCPVinj, RF vs well spacing, WOR vs Np, VRR vs t
Make Maps (by reservoir) showing Blocks: HCPV, HCPVinj, RF, VRR
Make Cross sections
Calculate Blocks Enhancement List
Create Action List
Execute

Repeat steps 5-6-7-8-9-10 routinely (monthly, quarterly, half year).

The typical actions are:
