An evaluation of the CO/sub 2/ pilot, Maljamar Field, Lea County, New Mexico
This report reviews the performance of the miscible CO/sub 2/ pilot in the Maljamar Field, Lea County, New Mexico. The project was conducted by Conoco under the Tertiary Incentive Crude Oil Program. The project was initiated in 1981 and completed January 1, 1986. The project involved CO/sub 2/ floods in two separate reservoirs conducted simultaneously using dually completed wells in a 5-acre inverted 5-spot pattern. Control of fluid movement in the pilot was achieved by utilizing four confining injection wells outside the pattern, as well as two observation wells inside the pattern. The purpose of the pilot was to provide data for computer modelling of the reservoir and for facilities design and economic analysis of a full scale project. Conoco accomplished this purpose and has begun fieldwide expansion of CO/sub 2/ flooding in both Maljamar reservoirs based on the results of this pilot. 14 refs., 4 figs., 4 tabs.
