Waterflooding is one of the most common techniques used to improve
oil recovery. Although waterflooding has been extensively
implemented in light oil reservoirs, only a few waterflooding
studies and field tests have been conducted in heavy oil
reservoirs. Therefore, the effect of various operating and
reservoir parameters on the performance of waterflooding in heavy
oil reservoirs is not well understood. This study presents the
results of several series of displacement experiments and
simulation studies evaluating different aspects of the
waterflooding process in heavy oil reservoirs. The studies include
evaluating effects of viscosity, water injection rate, permeability
of porous media and wettability on relative permeability curves of
heavy oil-water systems and ultimate oil recovery. The experimental
study was conducted using a physical model and then a two-phase
black oil commercial simulator (CMG/IMEXTM) was used to simulate
waterflood experiments. The findings of this investigation provide
important information of great interest to engineers, managers, and
professionals working in the petroleum Engineering.
