Water coning is condition near the wellbore where boundary between oil-water goes toward the perforation <br /> <br /> <br /> zone. Water coning usually happens in reservoir, especially bottom-water drive. It becomes a major <br /> <br /> <br /> problem when the water reach toward the wellbore, namely water breakthrough. After water breakthrough <br /> <br /> <br /> occurs, water production will increase significantly and make oil production decline. It makes recovery <br /> <br /> <br /> factor low. <br /> <br /> <br /> Polymer can be used to manage water coning to reduce water production. Polymer is used as a barrier in <br /> <br /> <br /> vertical way to prevent water coning. This study applies simulation to investigate the effectiveness of the <br /> <br /> <br /> polymer treatment for increasing recovery factor by preventing the water coning. This study determines the <br /> <br /> <br /> appropriate location and dimension of polymer water shut off. <br /> <br /> <br /> The results of this study show that polymer can be used to prevent water coning for a period time. Recovery <br /> <br /> <br /> factor with polymer treatment is higher than the recovery factor without polymer treatment. The effective <br /> <br /> <br /> treatment requires deep polymer in the formation and dimension of polymer to reduce water coning. The <br /> <br /> <br /> optimum deep of polymer is under the perforation zone and far from water oil contact. The optimum of <br /> <br /> <br /> radius polymer is depend on the polymer depth.
