The Big Muddy Low-Tension Flood is a commercial size demonstration project consisting of nine 10-acre injection patterns in the heart of the Big Muddy oil field located about 15 miles east of Casper, Wyoming. Project objectives relate to surfactant flooding in the low permeability, high fracture density, fresh water reservoirs typical of many fields in eastern Colorado and Wyoming. Design technology is based in part on a pilot test conducted previously at an adjacent site. During this past quarter, water injection continued through the second quarter of 1986. Injection well No. 86 was shut-in June 16, 1986, after production well No. 82 was also shut-in. Average injection rate for the remaining five injectors was 200 BWPD per well. Oil sales for April, May and June averaged 100 BOPD, 92 BOPD and 100 BOPD, respectively. The May sales figures was low by +- 100 BO due to an upset. This oil was untreatable and disposed of. The cumulative project sales were 260,878 BO as of June 30, 1986. 4 figs., 4 tabs.
