Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation with financial assistance from the U.S. DOE, planned and operated an Enhanced Oil Recovery Project in the Granny's Creek oil field, Clay County, West Virginia. The objective of the field test was to determine the feasibility and economics of recovering additional oil from a (flooded-out) low-oil saturated reservoir using carbon dioxide (CO/sub 2/) for miscible displacement of residual oil. The test results have determined that the CO/sub 2/ process can mobilize and recover a significant volume of additional oil after waterflooding. 7 refs.
