Waterflooding method and method of detecting fluid flow between zones of different pressure
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6688392
A method is provided for waterflooding porous formations to enhance the recovery of petroleum from them, which includes heating the casing in the well bore, and taking temperature measurements at points spaced from the heater. Such temperature measurements reveal whether there is fluid flow in the space behind the casing. A method is provided for determining whether undesired fluid flow exists between 2 porous zones separated by an impermeable strata. (16 claims)
