Congratulations to Vanessa G Neal on her first publication in SPE The Way Ahead (SPE TWA) entitled The Role of the Surveillance Plots in Diagnosing Waterfloods.

Often when evaluating waterfloods, the focus is on issues at the well level: pumping fluid off a producer or making sure an injector doesn’t have plugged perforations. These are important issues that need to be addressed to optimize a waterflood, but focusing solely on the wells makes it easy to forget that each well is only one part of a bigger system. Losing sight of the reservoir means losing sight of other influencing factors that are affecting each well’s individual performance. Everything is connected and each change made on a single well affects all wells across the field. For this reason it is important to diagnose a waterflood from multiple viewpoints: the field, pattern, and well levels…
