From Aug. 1972 until May 1976, Atlantic Richfield tested CO/sub 2/ miscible flooding for tertiary recovery in the stratified San Andres dolomite of the Willard Unit, Wasson field. After first waterflooding the test area, CO/sub 2/ and water were injected in small, alternate slugs. This was followed by continuous water injection. During all phases of the test, flood response was monitored at a logging observation well, and at the conclusion of flooding, a core was taken between the injection and observation wells with the pressure-retaining core barrel. This study describes the attempt to measure in situ saturations by pressure coring.
