West Hackberry Tertiary Project. Quarterly technical progress report, December 3, 1994--March 2, 1995
The goal of the West Hackberry Tertiary Project is to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of combining air injection with the Double Displacement Process for tertiary oil recovery. The Double Displacement Process is the gas displacement of a water invaded oil column for the purpose of recovering oil through gravity drainage. The novel aspect of this project is the use of air as the injection fluid. The target reservoir for the project is the Camerina C-1,2,3 Sand located on the West Flank of West Hackberry Field in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. If successful, this project will demonstrate that the use of air injection in the Double Displacement Process can economically recover oil in reservoirs where tertiary oil recovery is presently uneconomic. The current quarter marked the first full quarter of air injection. This report addresses: (1) Evidence of Spontaneous High-Temperature Combustion; (2) Results of the Reservoir Monitoring Program; (3) Status of Surface Injection Operations; and (4) Plans for a 3-D Seismic Survey over East and West Hackberry Fields.
