Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for generating corrected performance data of water flooding of an oil reservoir system, said method comprising: receiving, through one or more data processors, data related to properties of the oil reservoir system and data related to a water flooding scenario; applying, through the one or more data processors, at least one analytical water flooding performance computation methodology to the data related to properties of the oil reservoir system and the data related to the water flooding scenario to generate water flooding performance data; and applying, through the one or more data processors, a statistical correction factor methodology to the generated water flooding performance data to generate corrected water flooding performance data wherein applying the statistical correction factor methodology to the generated water flooding performance data includes adjusting a time for initial oil production and a time for oil production rate to peak of the generated water flooding performance data; wherein the corrected water flooding performance data is representative of oil recovery by the water flooding of the oil reservoir system.
