Breaking Oil Recovery Limit in Malaysian Thin Oil Rim Reservoirs: Water Injection Optimization

The goal of an oil field development project is to accelerate the hydrocarbon production and maximize the recovery<br>at a lowest cost. For a thin oil rim reservoir with a large gas cap on top and a strong aquifer below, achieving such<br>goal can be very challenging since recovery of both oil and gas shall be maximized. A successful project shall<br>entail plan first to accelerate the oil production maximizing the oil recovery prior to the gas cap blow-down.
