Waterflood Surveillance in the Mars Field Deepwater GOM: Mississippi Canyon Block 807

摘要

Waterfloods serve many purposes and their performance can have major economic impact on the drilling, production and management of hydrocarbon reservoirs. The primary purpose of the Mars (Mississippi Canyon 807) waterflood in the deepwater of the GOM is to increase recovery efficiency in three main reservoirs. In addition, the waterflood helps maintain reservoir pressure in selected sands, which minimizes compaction and subsequent well failure.
