Storage, recovery program for Albion-Scipio proposed

Journal Article · · Oil Gas J.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6813291
Preliminary steps have been taken to develop the Michigan Albion-Scipio field for natural-gas storage and secondary oil-recovery operations. This field is the state's largest oil and gas pool and the only reservoir to have reached 100 million bbl of crude oil. Only general details of the operating proposal have been set forth at this date. During the first 5 yr of the project, Michigan-Wisconsin proposes to inject an aggregate gas volume of 250 billion cu ft of which about 46 billion cu ft would be maintained in the reservoir as cushion gas in the oil-recovery portion of the plan. Full storage is expected to be achieved in the tenth year of operations when gas injection rates would average about 800 MMcfd and peak gas withdrawal rates would approach 1,600 MMcf. To the end of 1973, the field had recovered 107 million bbl of crude oil, and 137 billion cu ft of gas. Production last year was down to 4 million bbl of oil and 10 billion cu ft of gas. The field was developed on a 1-to 20-acre well-location plan with more than 500 wells still listed as active at the end of 1973. The State Geological Survey credits the total field with 11,500 developed acres.
