30 Years of Predicting Injectivity after Barkman & Davidson: Where are we today?

Abstract: TX 75083-3836, U.S.A., fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractThe reinjection of produced water is an important prerequisite for maintaining pressure and for flooding reservoirs. Thirty years ago Barkman and Davidson introduced the first comprehensive theory for predicting the behaviour of injection wells. This theory was employed and tested for many years in actual injection projects at 'Preussag-Energie', including the development of a special-purpose instrument. In the present article, a survey of operational experie… Show more

“…Suspended solids in injection water originate from silts, clays, different types of scales, products of bacterial activity, or erosion of rock during oil production. Along with formation impairment, fines migration causes changes in relative permeability and affects oil displacement [10]. To avoid those problems with injectivity, water needs to be adequately treated before injection to minimize formation damage and require additional costs.…”

“…Hence, a representative estimation of this parameter is required to forecast the injection behavior [7]. More generally, the impact of particles, including mixtures of oil and solid, on injectivity has recently received increasing attention [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Regarding oil-in-water emulsion flow and deposition in porous media, despite significant experimental and theoretical works [14][15][16], impact on injectivity is still not clearly understood, especially under severe injection conditions (high flow rate into low permeability formation).…”

“…Other models 7,8 dedicated to simulate produced water re-injection under fracturing conditions, the depth of the internal damage is simply calculated from the injected volume of oil assuming an oil saturation and a fixed damaged permeability in the invaded zone. For other works 9 the concept of Barkman and Davidson is still used to simulate produced water injectivity decline.…”
