In the Casabe field water-flooding has been used to enhance oil recovery. However, a combination of sensitive lithology, structural complexity and water channeling caused hardware to fail and wells to collapse, disrupting the waterflood efficiency. New techniques in geologic analysis, waterflooding, drilling and production optimization are restoring this once-prolific field to its former glory.
