Polymer injection continued through the fourth quarter of 1983, bringing the total polymer-pusher slug size to 834,600 barrels. The average injection rate for the quarter was 1746 BPD compared to the third quarter rate of 1707 BPD. During December, the injection plant was down for 1-1/2 days due to a major power failure. Oil sales averaged 212 BOPD, 217 BOPD and 218 BOPD for October, November and December, respectively. The major power failure in December resulted in downtime for all producing wells. Cumulative project production is 149,287 barrels of oil as of December 31, 1983. Sulfonate production was observed in all producing wells with Well 88 showing the highest level (1875 ppM). Most other wells were 100 ppM or less in sulfonate. De-bugging tests of the auxiliary treating facility were still conducted during the quarter; however, the facility was fully operational. No major treating problems have occurred. 6 figures, 4 tables.
