Designing A CO2 Flood For Small Waterflood Depleted Unit

Presenters

Larry Hallenbeck, Phillips Petroleum Company

The South Cowden (San Andres) Unit is the site selected for one of three mid-term projects to be conducted under the DOE Class II Oil Program for Shallow Shelf Carbonate Reservoirs. The proposed $21 million dollar project is designed to demonstrate the technical and economic viability of an innovative CO2 flood project development approach. The new approach employs cost-effective advanced reservoir characterization technology as an integral part of a focused development plan utilizing horizontal CO2 injection wells and centralization of production/injection facilities to optimize CO2 project economics.- If proven successful, this new approach will help improve the economic viability of CO2 flooding for many older, smaller fields which are or soon will be facing abandonment.
