Pore Pressure Prediction in Waterflooded Reservoirs

Pore pressure in waterflooded reservoirs refers to the pressure exerted by the fluids (primarily water) within the pore spaces of the rock formation after water injection has been implemented for enhanced oil recovery.

Accurate prediction of pore pressure in these reservoirs is crucial for ensuring safe and efficient drilling operations, optimizing reservoir management, and mitigating risks associated with pressure changes during waterflooding.

Importance of Pore Pressure Prediction

Accurate pore pressure prediction is crucial in waterflooded reservoirs for several reasons:

• Safe and Efficient Drilling: By knowing the pore pressure in advance, operators can select appropriate mud weights to prevent wellbore instability, lost circulation, and kicks. This helps ensure safe and efficient drilling operations.
• Optimized Reservoir Management: Understanding pore pressure distribution aids in characterizing reservoir compartmentalization and permeability barriers. This information allows for optimized well placement, injection strategies, and production planning, leading to enhanced hydrocarbon recovery.
• Risk Mitigation: Uncontrolled pressure changes during waterflooding can lead to fault reactivation and induced seismicity. Accurately predicting pore pressure helps assess and mitigate these risks.
