Abstract:Performance of a pilot flood in eastern Kansas indicates improved recovery and accelerated production resulting from mobility ratio control obtained by adding a high molecular weight polymer to injected water. Ultimate pilot flood recovery of the 75-cp reservoir oil is anticipated to be 350 bbl/acre-ft during the six-year flood life. Cumulative recovery to date totals 242 bbl/acre-ft after 30 months of injection. Reservoir parameters and flood performance are discussed in detail to provide a case history relat… Show more
