Abstract

See full text

Methods, apparatuses and computer readable instructions for determining the effectiveness of, and for performing, a low salinity waterflood. An ion diffusion distance value is determined based on the rate of diffusion of ions within the rock of a reservoir and the residency time of floodwater within the reservoir. The thickness of the layers of the reservoir are compared to this ion diffusion value to determine the effectiveness of performing a low salinity waterflood and also to enable the effective control of a waterflood and to assist in the determination of locations of wells.
