Efficiency of the oil production technology is a critical issue for the industry. In many cases, for mature fields it can be achieved by waterflooding optimization which is the main oil recovery technique. Such optimization, in general case, is some regulation of volume of injected water for each active injection well in order to improving oil displacement process. Nowadays, this task is solved using a geostatistical & stochastic reservoir description via 3D dynamic modeling. Such approach has some disadvantages like ‘noisiness’ of the field data, physical model interpretability issue, as well as high computing demands. Moreover, the 3D geological and hydrodynamic model, modern and complex tool for reservoir characterization, does not offer any feature for injection rates calculation that allow to increase full field production profile.
