Glenn Pool surfactant-flood expansion project: A technical summary
- Chevron Petroleum Technology Co., La Habra, CA (United States)
After a successful pilot test, a 92-acre surfactant-flood expansion project was conducted in the William Berryhill lease of the Glenn Pool field, Creek County, OK. The field had been waterflooded and had an average residual oil saturation (ROS) of 30% PV. At the end of Oct. 1992, {approx} 1.14 million bbl of incremental oil was produced, which accounted for about one-third of the residual oil. This is the largest amount of oil produced by a surfactant flood. The objective of this paper is to summarize and present the technical results of the expansion project. When this project was planned and carried out, the economic environment was quite different from what it is now; this project would be uneconomic at current conditions.
