Sweep efficiency is a measure of how effectively a fluid, such as water or gas, displaces oil in a reservoir during enhanced oil recovery processes. It is crucial for optimizing recovery strategies and minimizing the bypassing of oil, thereby maximizing the extraction of hydrocarbons from the reservoir.

Fluid displacement occurs when a solid object is immersed in a fluid, causing the fluid to move and occupy a new volume. This principle is fundamental in understanding buoyancy, where the weight of the fluid displaced by an object is equal to the buoyant force acting on it.

Reservoir management is the strategic planning and control of reservoir operations to optimize resource extraction, enhance recovery, and ensure sustainability. It involves integrating geological, engineering, and economic data to make informed decisions that maximize reservoir performance and minimize environmental impact.
