Abstract

Hydrocarbons represent an important natural resource for the rehabilitation and sustainable development of Afghanistan. In this paper, the use of waterflooding is demonstrated for the petroleum reservoirs of the Kashkari oilfield in northern Afghanistan. The technique stands on the Buckley–Leverett frontal-displacement theory, which enables computation of the progress of the waterfront in the reservoir. The oil and water relative permeabilities, the irreducible water saturation, and the residual oil saturation are obtained from a laboratory experiment. The technique is conducted to the Kashkari oilfield to predict the feasible quantity of the oil that could be produced from this reservoir. As a result, the Buckley–Leverett waterflooding technique recovered 67 MMBBL oil of Kashkari oilfield in 6200 days.
