The 200 Sand Steamflood Demonstration Project, a jointly funded venture between Santa Fe Energy Company - Western Division (SFE) and the United States Department of Energy (DOE), is testing an enhanced steamflooding technique in the Midway-Sunset Field, Kern County, California. The operational, recovery, and economic aspects of steamflooding a typical heavy oil reservoir, which had poor response to cyclic steam stimulation, are being demonstrated. The first phase was a pilot test consisting of four (4) 2.35 acre inverted seven-spot steam drive patterns. As a result of the response shown by the pilot, in April 1980, the second phase was initiated by beginning work to expand the pilot area to a total of fourteen (14) fully developed 2.35 acre inverted seven-spot patterns (Figure I-2). Expansion to a full-scale steamflood test consisted of drilling and completing 30 producing wells and 10 steam injection wells. The total project area consist of 42 producers and 14 injectors.
