Abstract
The invention is a method for modeling the effects of interactions between wells on the watercuts in effluents produced by one or more wells through a zone of an underground hydrocarbon reservoir under development, swept by a fluid under pressure injected through one or more injection wells or swept by water from an aquiferous zone, in order to optimize the reservoir production. The method includes selecting a set of significant data from measurements taken from sweep fluid injection records and from records relative to the effluents produced by a series of wells of the zone, and setting up, by means of iterations, an optimized linear model connecting the variations with time of these watercuts with the variations with time of the significant data. The invention is useful to optimize the petroleum production of a reservoir.
