A waterflood pattern realignment project in the Grayburg / San Andres McElroy Field is improving the waterflood performance. This paper presents a case history of a 640-acre [259 ha] section of the field that was realigned in 1988. Irregular and widely spaced patterns were developed into smaller and more uniform patterns. The results of the realignment are proving the economic viability of realignment work at McElroy and are improving reservoir characterization.
