Twofreds Field. A tertiary oil recovery project

Conference · · Soc. Pet. Eng. AIME, Pap.; (United States)

The Twofreds Delaware sand reservoir was discovered in 1957 and developed as a waterflood unit in 1963. By 1973, after a moderately successful waterflood, the production rate had decline to near economic limit. Carbon dioxide injection for oil recovery was instigated in 1974; therefore, oil recovery since 1974 represents tertiary oil recovery after waterflooding. This study discusses the actual application of CO/sub 2/ injection procedures and the field performance for the 5-year period since CO/sub 2/ injection was started. Performance to date appears successful in recovering additional oil from reservoirs of this type.
