| Abstract: A method of selecting an injectate for recovering liquid hydrocarbons
from a reservoir includes designing a plurality of injectates,
calculating a net present value of each injectate, and selecting a
candidate injectate based on the net present value. For example, the
candidate injectate may be selected to maximize the net present value of
a waterflooding operation. |
