Abstract

Herein disclosed are methods and systems related to processes for injection wells generally utilized in the oil and gas industry. More particularly, disclosed herein are methods and systems related to improving the accuracy of profiling and determining individual cumulative fluid injection profiles for an injection period for multiple zones of an injection well in reservoir systems utilizing conventional warmback models. The methods herein allow for proper modeling and allocation of all injection zones, including zones experiencing a cooldown phenomena during shut-in by transforming the cooldown zonal temperature profiles into temperature profiles which can be utilized in a conventional warmback analysis. These methods are particularly useful in mature reservoir systems where the background reference temperature profile is no longer governed by the geothermal reference temperature profile.
