Judy Creed CO/sub 2/ flood performance predictions
This work describes the studies which have been completed to evaluate the oil recovery benefits of a carbon dioxide miscible flood of the Judy Creek Beaverhill Lake, a pool in N. Alberta. Purchased and reproduced carbon dioxide will be injected into the reservoir to achieve the planned high volumes of carbon dioxide injection of over 50% pv. Laboratory tests, including slim tube displacement tests, pvt analysis, and a core flood, were conducted to determine carbon dioxide and oil properties along with the characteristics of the displacement process under a carbon dioxide flood. Conventional black oil simulation was used to model a statistical representation of the reservoir with adjustments for reservoir continuity, carbon dioxide dissolution in water, and miscible effects. These results indicated an incremental recovery over waterflood of 20% of the original oil in place.
