  • Patent number: 11808148
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for determining the production rate of oil produced from each of a plurality of oil-bearing geological layers in an oil field. In some embodiments, the method comprises allocating injected fluid into each layer of a plurality of oil-bearing geological layers to a plurality of paths from injection sites of injection wells to production wells in each layer by balancing the mass of fluid injected into and the total fluid recovered from each oil-bearing geological layer. In some embodiments, the method comprises calculating estimated geological properties for each path in the plurality of paths to match total oil and injection fluid recovered at each production well in the plurality of production wells. In some embodiments, the method comprises using the estimated geological properties, calculating an oil production rate for each path between an injector well and a production well in a geological layer.
