Waterflooding technique currently is the most popular technique to increase oil recovery due to its supremacy compare to the other secondary recovery techniques. BK Area has some primary fields which are planned to apply waterflooding to increase oil recovery. <br /> <br /> <br /> The objective of this thesis writing is to build simple process to screening the field candidates that is feasible to apply waterflooding and then conduct prioritization to generate list of priority based on remaining recoverable reserves. The other objective is to predict the performace of the waterflood that will be applied in the choosen field using existing methods in text book and literature. Method to predict the performance waterflooding is Buckley Leverett method for displacement efficiency, Craig method for areal sweep efficiency and Modified Dykstra Parson method for vertical sweep efficiency. <br /> <br /> <br /> Feasibility process that applies to some primary fields till prioritization step in BK area is important process in this study. The result of this process will be basic reference to conduct further analysis namely predicting the injection performance of the waterflooding which is finally the analysis will give direct impact to increasing the oil recovery in the choosen fields. The result of this effort and study give four (4) choosen fields in BK area which is suitable to the given criteria, and the fields are: BN, ST, SR and PN. Furthermore after conducting prediction analysis, there is list of priority fields that could apply waterflood as follow: ST Field, BN field, PN field and the last is SR field.
