THE EFFECT OF THE COMPLETION LAYER SELECTION IN WATER FLOODING ON RECOVERY FACTOR(CASE STUDY)

Water flooding is applicable for increasing recovery factor. In this method another well is used to inject water. In some cases one layer is just completed. It is obvious that it is better that completion layer is the bottom layer and in that case we have more recovery factor but what happened if completion layer is the bottom layer but it is thinner than top layer? Does it have more recovery factor in this case compare to situation that completion layer is top layer but thicker? We want to answer this question in this paper with simulation a for case study model.
