Carbonate reservoirs are significant underground formations for oil storage, composed of carbonate rocks, and their development presents complexity and challenges. This article reviews the principles, technologies, and case studies of waterflood development in carbonate reservoirs. It first introduces the geological characteristics and reservoir mechanisms of carbonate reservoirs, emphasizing the challenges and importance of their development, including complex geological structures and heterogeneous pore structures. Then, it elaborates on the principles and mechanisms of waterflooding, covering key roles such as increasing reservoir pressure, displacing crude oil, and improving recovery rates. Based on this, the key technologies for waterflood development in carbonate reservoirs are analyzed, including water injection well placement, injection scheme design, and water quality control, with an in-depth discussion based on actual cases. By analyzing successful cases, optimized strategies for waterflood development are summarized, such as rational design of injection schemes and strict water quality control. Finally, the challenges and future development of waterflooding in carbonate reservoirs are discussed, with suggestions for related research, including strengthening technological innovation, focusing on environmental protection, and promoting interdisciplinary research. This article provides practical references for waterflood development in carbonate reservoirs, fostering further research and application in this field.
