Abstract:Smart water injection, by optimizing the ionic composition and salinity of the injected water, it is possible to purposefully influence the wettability alteration process and implement enhanced oil recovery operations in reservoirs containing significant amounts of trapped oil, so, it is a promising method for enhancing the oil recovery factor. Carbonate rocks, which are highly complex, constitute a significant portion of reservoir rocks. The primary challenge in oil production from carbonate reservoirs, and a factor that reduces the ultimate crude oil recovery rate, is the phenomenon of substantial oil retention within the rock. The smart water injection method for enhanced oil recovery involves the use of advanced technologies and techniques designed to optimize water injection performance in oil fields. Optimizing smart water for maximum efficiency is one of the most important issues in oil fields. In this paper, smart water injection in a carbonate reservoir and its effect on oil recovery has been discussed. |
