This paper presents a review of tertiary oil recovery from the Hibberd Pool by the process of injecting propane, gas, and water after a depleted waterflood. The additional economical recoverable reserves are estimated to be 300,000 stock tank bbl. The Hibbert Pool is located in the S.-central portion of the Cuyama Valley, Santa Barbara County, Calif. This reservoir occupies approximately 200 surface acres on the crest of the S. Cuyama anticline. Oil accumulation in the Hibberd Zone occurs at an approximate depth of 4,300 ft, where it is trapped by an axial NW.-SE. trending fault. The Hibberd Zone contains approximately 60 ft of a firm, fine-grained sand having an average permeability of 272 md and 23.4% porosity. Also included in this presentation are a structure map, and reservoir data and statistics. Discussions are included of the propane slug size, the miscible slug displacement process, the reservoir history, and economic information.
