Downhole Water Sink/Loop: Supervisor: Dr. Hashemi Zadeh Student: Mahdi Tohidi Mobark Aabad

This document discusses downhole water sink/loop (DWS/DWL) well completion methods for controlling water coning and maintaining water-free oil production. The DWS method drains water from the bottom of the well but depresses the water drive, while the DWL method forms a closed loop system to drain and re-inject water without changing the water drive. Key parameters that affect DWL performance include the production rate, drainage-injection spacing, and bottom drainage-injection rates. Advantages of DWL over DWS include maintaining the water drive without high lifting or disposal costs.

Advantage:
• Coning Control
• Reduce Surface Separation Costs

Disadvantages:

The Limitation of DWL System


• The drained & injected water must be free from oil
• The pressure interference between the two water
completions must be minimized(Efficient D/I Spacing)
• Water-free Oil Production
