SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WATERFLOOD PERFORMANCE MONITORING
First Claim
1. A method, implemented in a computer, for controlling a production/injection operation for an oilfield, the oilfield having a first wellsite comprising a producing well advanced into subterranean formations with geological structures and reservoirs therein, the producing well being for production of fluids from at least one reservoir in the reservoirs, wherein the oilfield further has a second wellsite comprising an injection well advanced into the subterranean formations with the geological structures and the reservoirs, the injection well being therein for injection of fluids into the at least one reservoir, wherein the method comprises:
- collecting collected data from a plurality of data sources with respect to the production/injection operation, wherein the collected data includes oil production data from the producing well and fluid injection data from the injection well;
storing the collected data in a database;
extracting extracted data from the database, wherein the extracted data relates to a selected performance parameter to be monitored;
processing the extracted data to form processed data; and
dynamically displaying a graphical representation of the processed data to enable monitoring of the selected performance parameter.

Abstract
Method, system and computer program product for controlling a production/injection operation for an oilfield, the oilfield having a first wellsite with a producing well advanced into subterranean formations with geological structures and reservoirs therein. Data from a plurality of data sources is collected with respect to a production/injection operation, wherein the collected data includes oil production data and fluid injection data. The collected data is stored in a database. Extracted data relating to a selected performance parameter to be monitored is extracted from the database, the extracted data is processed, and a graphical representation of the processed data is dynamically displayed to enable monitoring of the selected performance parameter.
