Occidental has increased production at Safah field in northern Oman through a combination of development wells,
waterflooding and successful exploration.
Though no definite concrete viscosity ratio was advised due to different reservoirs condition and water cut, literatures [29, 30] showed low injection rates based water imbibition can be used to stabilize the
waterflooding and improve heavy oil recovery.

waterflooding," Journal of Petroleum Technology, vol.
Waterflooding is used as a cost-effective way to increase oil production, so the team developed experiments to model what impacts the flow of water injected into reservoirs.
The field's complex geological setting requires use of multiple specialist techniques, including horizontal drilling,
waterflooding and enhanced oil recovery, to maximize production.
After assuming operation of ISND in 1994, Occidental increased production through extensive horizontal drilling,
waterflooding and multilateral production.
In upstream production processes, these include
waterflooding, well completions and glycol dehydration.
