OSTI ID:6323741

The purpose of this document is to provide a concise, but comprehensive, description of the background, resources, exploitation strategies, production and disposition, revenues, funding and staffing requirements projected for Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 1 (NPR-1) located in Kern County, California. Following the introduction, Section 2 addresses significant administration and legislative actions, and also includes a history of NPR-1's development and production achievements. Section 3 provides detailed zone and reservoir (resource) descriptions, and past production histories of oil, water, and gas for each zone/reservoir. This section also highlights the geographical locations of producing zones and reservoirs, and illustrates the complex geology of the fields. Section 4 explains both the basis for the future exploration program at NPR-1 and the development drilling strategy. Section 5 presents NPR-1's 10-year (1986-1995) production estimates for oil, water, and gas; also, it includes a 10-year projection for estimated gas, water, and steam injection requirements. Section 6 depicts the facility planning and reservoir management requirements of NPR-1. Specifically, this section focuses on the pertinent capacity, expansion and/or modification requirements of the gathering, processing, and disposing systems for oil, gas, and water produced, sold, and injected at NPR-1. Section 7 highlights the marketing and sales requirements for NPR-1 products. Such products sold include high quality crude oil, natural gas, propane, butane, and natural gasoline. In addition, this section contains descriptions of past sales and future planning activities to ensure maximum revenue on future sales. Finally, Section 8 provides the long-range funding, staffing, and revenue profiles for managing and operating NPR-1. 60 figs., 52 tabs.
