ABSTRACT OF THE PRESENTATION
‘Produced water is the largest volume associated drilling and production waste. The water cycle includes all aspects from production to re-injection which must be managed properly. Knowledge of the production, injection, sweep, producers, facilities and disposal is essential. Current field examples demonstrate the techniques of advanced intervention options. These intervention options include fixing "wet" oil and gas producers and design and optimal operation of injectors. The overall objective is to keep or replace water into the target zone. Application of these techniques leads to a discussion of the future of waterflood profile control in the reservoirs. Ultimately, "water-proofing" or "gas-proofing" non-conventional producers are controlled through application of these intervention options."
