The 600 acre Forest A.B. Gordon lease has produced 5,500,000 bbl of waterflood oil to March 1, 1966. This oil has been produced from the Yates Formation and principally from the Penn Bennett member. The primary recovery from this lease was 2,474,000 bbl which gives a waterflood to primary ratio of 2.2 to 1. Some of the information available at the start of the waterflooding is reviewed to see how reliable the various types of initial information would be in predicting waterflood response. A table shows the reservoir factors of the A.B. Gordon lease. A carefully researched and constructed pay thickness map appears to be a sound basis for determining relative waterflood recoveries in reservoir of this type, but permeability variation and the order of waterflood development still must be considered. The structure is not a significant factor in the waterflood performance of a reservoir of this type. The conclusion must be drawn that no one yardstick could be relied on to predict accurately waterflood results for all areas. However, the several methods of comparison taken together offer a reasonable chance to make an accurate prediction.
