Abstract

This paper proposes real-time evaluation of distribution of residual oil reserves in mature oil fields developed with water flooding system and localization of zones with higher density of reserves for the selection of areas/wells for well intervention and for optimization of water flooding system. Examples of application of this procedure on the facilities and oil fields in West Siberia are provided below.
