Sanfilippor, G P

The progress of the Rock Creek carbon dioxide project in Roane County, West Virginia is reported. Designed, developed and operated by Pennzoil Company, this project is being conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of miscible carbon dioxide oil recovery in the Rock Creek Big Injun Field. During the first quarter of 1978, a sixty-three day labor strike by Pennzoil's field personnel occurred. This strike delayed the progress of the project by two months. The water supply and handling system performed trouble free throughout the quarter. The Henderson water source continued to provide an adequate water supply for the entire project. Water injection proceeded on schedule with the exception of one back-up injection well. A packer failure interrupted injection into this well prior to the start of the labor strike. The progress of the project and the corresponding cash outlay are depicted pictorially.
