Thus it is possible to related injected water volumes to off-set oil production down to a well-pair level and be displayed using Streamsim's patented Flux Pattern map (FPmap).
Since offset oil production is related to water injection this information can also be displayed in a cross-plot for every injector in the field at any given point in time. This novel information leads to the idea of injection efficiencies--a ratio of off-set oil production to water injected--which in turn can be used to manage the flood. The injection efficiency is defined as the ratio of off-set oil production to water injected. Note the following about the injection efficiency:

floodOPT Example Workflow within studioSL | |
studioSL offers a convenient way to apply floodOPT to a 3DSL run for flood management purposes and forecasting. The starting point is a 3DSL simulation omodel with an acceptable well-level history match (see more about history matching here) or a surveillance model. In case of a simulation model, the well-level history match is an important component of any reliable forecast since floodOPT uses well-pair injection/production information. The basic steps in a floodOPT workflow are:
