Green River Formation Water Flood Demonstration Project, Uinta Basin, Utah. Quarterly technical progress report, January 1--March 31, 1993

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

The project concerns itself with increasing recoverable petroleum resources in the United States. The Green River Formation in Utah`s Uinta Basin contains abundant hydrocarbons that are not easily recovered by means. The successful Lomax Monument Butte Unit water flood will be evaluated under this contract, and based on this information, water floods will be initiated in nearby Travis and Boundary units. In 1987, Lomax Exploration Company started a successful water flood on their Monument Butte Umt. This is a low-energy, geologically heterogeneous reservoir producing a waxy crude oil. production yielded about 5% of the OOIP, while the water flood will … continued below

Description

The project concerns itself with increasing recoverable petroleum resources in the United States. The Green River Formation in Utah`s Uinta Basin contains abundant hydrocarbons that are not easily recovered by means. The successful Lomax Monument Butte Unit water flood will be evaluated under this contract, and based on this information, water floods will be initiated in nearby Travis and Boundary units. In 1987, Lomax Exploration Company started a successful water flood on their Monument Butte Umt. This is a low-energy, geologically heterogeneous reservoir producing a waxy crude oil. production yielded about 5% of the OOIP, while the water flood will yield an recovery of 20% OOIP. The drilling and completion of two of the wells, one in the Monument Butte unit (10--34) and the other in the Travis (14A--28) unit, were related in the last report (December 31, 1992). The use of novel logging techniques (Formation Microimaging and Magnetic Resonance Imaging) along with the compositions of the oils and gases from the Monument Butte unit were also discussed. To update the progress of the above two wells, the Monument Butte 10--34 (11/27/92 first production) has produced 4,953 barrels of oil and 4,039 Mcf of gas and the Travis 14A-28 (1/1/93 first production) has produced 6,187 barrels of oil and 7,829 Mcf of gas from inception through March 31, 1993. Due to the success of the Travis 14A--28 completion, we recompleted the behind pipe ``D`` zone in the Travis 14--28 on March 8, 1993. The 14--28 has produced 2,411 barrels of oil through March 31, 1993 or 105 barrels per day.
