| Abstract: | This study presents a wavelet-based framework for mapping inter-well connectivity (IWC) between multiple injectors and producers to support waterflood optimization. The method applies Cross-Wavelet Transform Coherence (CrWTC) with a complex Morlet wavelet to injection and production rate data, enabling the time-localized and frequency-dependent identification of dynamic injector–producer communication. The novelty of this work lies in continuous coherence mapping, the use of the complex Morlet wavelet for improved sensitivity to nonstationary responses, continuous updating as new data become available, and benchmarking on both the Volve and COSTA datasets. Validation using reservoir simulation and field data showed strong qualitative agreement with expected connectivity behavior and demonstrated clearer tracking of connectivity evolution and waterfront movement than the Capacitance Resistance Method (CRM). The proposed approach improves the reliability and interpretability of IWC assessment and offers a practical tool for reservoir surveillance and waterflood management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
