In a water flood operation in reservoir A, water is being distributed to severalinjection wells from a common injection system; that is, water is supplied to all thewells at approximately the same well head pressure. Routine measurement of theindividual well injection rates by the team of field operators showed that one well wasreceiving approximately 45% more than its neighbours. The sum of the kh productsfor all of the injection wells were approximately the same depth. As a member of theteam, explain:What are the possible causes of the abnormally high injection rate in this well, andwhat production logs or other tests might be run to further diagnose the problem andplan remedial action?arrow_forwardQuestion 1 20 pts Test data on the bending strength of construction wood poles of various diameter are presented below assuming the same length.
