Impact of fracture creation and growth on well injectivity and reservoir sweep during waterflooding and chemical EOR processes

During waterflooding, or chemical EOR processes with polymers, fractures are frequently generated in injectors. This can have a profound impact on the process performance and reservoir management. A fracture growth model was developed and linked to a reservoir simulator that incorporates the effect...
