Improved-recovery processes and effective reservoir management maximize oil recovery Salt Creek
The Salt Creek field is in the Permian Basin of west Texas. Well and reservoir data were consistently acquired and maintained, geologic models were used to manage and optimize CO2 and water injection, and effective communication processes were established to calibrate engineering and geologic data with field experience and to enhance real-time decision making. Successive implementation of infill drilling and improved-recovery processes, coupled with effective reservoir management, led to oil recovery of, more than 50% and an expected ultimate recovery as high as 60%.
