This document assesses the size and distribution of the oil resource in a four-county portion of the San Andres residual oil zone (ROZ) fairway in the Permian Basin. Using well log analysis, the study divided the ROZ into partitions, developed a database of geologic properties for each partition and estimated the oil in place in each partition. The study then used the FE/NETL CO₂ Prophet Model to estimate the oil that could be produced and CO₂ stored from applying CO₂ EOR to each partition. With the FE/NETL Onshore CO₂ EOR Cost Model, the commercially viable partitions were identified as those that could produce oil and store CO₂ economically at an oil price of $75/STB. The remaining geologically viable partitions could use CO₂ EOR to store CO₂ with production of oil to offset some of the costs. The database used for this study, and a report describing the database is available on NETL's website under the Collection Name: Four-County San Andres ROZ Appraisal.
