Abstract
Abstract Water is an important element for every creature in the earth. Almost 70% of earth surface is covered by water. Since 1974, not only contribute to life, water also can be used in oil and gas industry, to improve the oil recovery through waterflooding. Waterflood now became one of oil enhancement methods that often applied in oil field because it’s proved effective can enhance the oil recovery with minimum impacts to ecology and environment. However, the use of water in oil and gas industry requires comprehensive understanding about the technical problem and environmental impact during waterflooding process. Hence, in this study a review is carried out on several problems that occur in the waterflooding injection process and provides solutions so as to be able to manage projects effectively and efficiently also considering the environmental aspects.
