oa Placement Simulations Improve the Design of Water Shut-Off Treatments

In the past, high-volume water shutoff treatments have not been applied because of the economic burdens they incur. Today, many operators have reconsidered high-volume water shutoff treatments because these treatments make oil production from mature reservoirs more economically feasible. Many wells in mature North Sea reservoirs produce a large amount of water. Consequently, these wells often produce less oil than they potentially could.
