Summary:The disclosure relates to a computer implemented method and system for determining a flow geometry of a subsurface reservoir, as well as a method of hydrocarbon production with flooding. A general embodiment of the disclosure is a method for determining a flow geometry of a subsurface reservoir, the method comprising: (a) receiving production related data for the reservoir, wherein the reservoir is associated with a flooding operation; (b) generation a heterogeneity factor from the production related data; (c) calculating a flow geometry of displacement of hydrocarbons from the reservoir responsive to the heterogeneity factor; and (d) outputting the flow geometry.
