Abstract

In recent days, waterflooding activities carried out as a part of secondary recovery. Before performing waterflooding, engineers have to perform reservoir simulation first to predict reservoir performance in order to waterflood. Generally, reservoir simulation is conducted by using numerical simulation method. Numerical simulation gives precise results although it depens on the availiability, quality, and quantity of reservoir characteristic and injection operation data. In addition, numerical simulation also time-consuming and quite complex to use. Proxy model is kind of machine learning. It’s able to predict performance of waterflooding quickly and easier to use. The result isn’t differ too much with numerical simulation method. Proxy model is an equation model that construct form quite many experiment data. This research is trying to predict performance of normal 5 spot waterflooding in reservoir with channeling deltaic sand sedimentation by using proxy model. The proxy model will be tested on a real field case. The results indicate that proxy model is able, faster, reliable and easy to use to predict waterflooding performance in such type of reservoir.
