The Surveillance and Optimization of a Waterflooded Fractured-Carbonate Reservoir

The surveillance and optimization of Norman Wells, a<br>waterflooded fractured-carbonate reservoir in northern<br>Canada, is presented. Discovered and on-production since<br>1920, Norman Wells is one of Canada's largest conventionally<br>produced oil fields. Full development of this resource was<br>undertaken in the early 1980's when directional and horizontal<br>drilling technology allowed access to the majority of the<br>reservoir, which underlies the Mackenzie River.
