Summary
The Dykstra-Parsons method for prediction of oil recovery by water flooding is a well known technique which has been used by the petroleum industry since 1945. The present work carries their study further, solving the same problem of calculating coverage for certain values of permeability variation having water-oil-ratio and mobility ratio as fixed parameters. The work herein, instead of using 50 layers, uses 200. Also a more precise theoretical approach to the problem is given. Because of these differences the resulting curves are slightly modified. In a second part, the authors deal with empirical simplifications with considerable success. The idea was to collapse the data and curves obtained in the first part into a single curve which covers most of the range of variables commonly seen in reservoir displacements.
