1. injects water into oil reservoirs to enhance oil recovery
Usage: petroleum engineering

Examples

• The company implemented waterfloods to increase production from the aging oil field.
• Engineers designed the waterfloods to maximize oil recovery efficiency.
• The operator waterfloods the reservoir using high-pressure injection wells.
• Secondary recovery often waterfloods depleted reservoirs to extract remaining oil.
• Multiple waterfloods have been successful in this geological formation.
• The team waterfloods the field systematically to maintain reservoir pressure.
