Abstract

A method to assess reservoir continuity between single wells in an oilfield formation within a region with several petroleum reservoirs, including the steps: collecting water samples from each of the single wells, obtaining the geochemical composition of each of the water samples, obtaining a dataset from the geochemical compositions of the single wells, analyzing the dataset using principal component analysis to obtain principal components of the dataset, clustering the principal components to obtain clusters, identifying hydrodynamic groups from the clusters, assigning the wells to hydrodynamic groups, wherein wells within one single hydrodynamic group are considered to be hydraulically communicated.
