200 Sand Steamflood Demonstration Project. Third annual report, June 1978-June 1979

Technical Report · Thu Nov 01 04:00:00 EST 1979

OSTI ID:5723718

The project is testing an enhanced steamflooding technique in the Midway-Sunset Field, Kern County, California. The 200 Sand Pool made very little primary production and responded poorly to cyclic steam stimulation, so this project was initiated to demonstrate the operational, recovery, and economic aspects of steamflooding a typical heavy oil reservoir which had unfavorable response to cyclic steam stimulation. The test is being conducted in four (4) 2.35 acre inverted seven-spot steam drive patterns, which are not fully developed with producers. The reservoir contains approximately 50 million barrels of oil-in-place in an anticlinal structural feature between 400 and 700 feet in depth. 1.73 million bbl steam (350/sup 0/F, 72% quality) have been injected since October 1975 into the four wells. Production has averaged 136 bbl/d oil and 276 bbl/d water.
