Abstract

Arranged the hydrocarbons in an oil reservoir require several techniques for their exploitation. The Liawenda field, discovered in December 1971 following the drilling of the Liawenda-01 exploration well, has a total of 186 wells with an annual production of 3,009,553 barrels. Having started production several years ago, the field has used the water injection technique following a drop in pressure. Despite this recourse to water injection methods, production from the Liawenda field is not always satisfactory. Knowledge of fluid flow inside an oil reservoir is important because it enables us to estimate certain useful parameters that can determine fluid movements in order to identify the causes of excessive water production. Thus, the present paper deals with water injection data in order to understand fluid movements in the Turonian reservoir of the Liawenda Field: - What is the fluid movement like in the Turonian reservoir of the Liawenda Field? - How does water move in relation to oil? - What are the efficiencies of fluid movement within the Liawenda Field? - What is the speed and travel time of the fluids in this reservoir? - How mobile are fluids?
