Water flooding is a process used to restore and maintain pressure in an oil reservoir. It enables better recovery of crude oil over longer periods of time. An important factor to consider when planning a water flood operation is the pattern arrangement of the wells to be used. As such, this project sought to determine the profitabilities of various flood patterns in an offshore field, the Kube field. Black oil simulations of 11 different patterns were created and ran using ECLIPSE 100 in order to obtain the necessary recovery factors. These patterns were used in the development of the field over a 10-year period. Results showed that the normal 5-spot pattern provided the greatest recovery while the direct line drive gave least recovery. Also, extreme water cuts as a result of the flood process limited the recovery of oil a few years after the operation began. In addition, it was discovered that normal flood patterns performed better than their inverted equivalents. It was thus concluded that from a purely technical standpoint, the normal 5- spot pattern provides the highest profits.
