The Reed City oil field in Michigan had cumulative oil recovery by partial water drive of some 38 million bbl to April 1, 1963, when gas injection commenced. As of Sept. 1, 1968, the reservoir contained an injected volume of 29.4 billion cu ft of gas. When fully developed, it is estimated that the capacity of the field will approximate 50 billion cu ft with a maximum daily deliverability of 1.0 billion cu ft. Current recovery of crude oil and condensate from the reservoir is averaging 31,000 bbl per mo. as compared to crude oil production averaging 11,000 bbl per mo. when gas injection commenced. The reservoir is described, the reservoir basic data are presented, and the development of the reservoir for secondary crude oil and condensate recovery and gas storage operations is explained.
