This paper reviews 10 years of dry-gas miscible-flood operations in three Brazeau River Nisku pinnacle reefs in Alberta. In addition, actual pool performance is compared with the original black-oil-model simulation forecasts. Through June 1991, the pools recovered 50% to 70% of original oil in place (OOIP), exceeding estimated waterflood recovery for each pool. Ultimate recoveries are expected to 60% to 80% of OOIP, the range originally predicted.
