Capacitance-Resistance Model Used for Integrated Detection of Water Production

The Gaither Draw unit is a heterogeneous tight formation with an average permeability of less than 0.1 md. After substantial water injection, there was no clear benefit of injected water for any producer. However, knowing the distribution of the injected water is critical for future well planning and quantification of injection efficiency. The objective of this study is to show how the capacitance-resistance model (CRM) was used on this field and how it validated the use of other independent methods.
