OSTI ID:6908590
Tracer tests utilizing conservative organic tracers have been conducted in the Culebra Dolomite Member of the Rustler Formation at the locations of the H-2, H-3, H-4,and H-6 hydropads. The objective of this report is to present a quantitative evaluation of the physical solute-transport parameters of the Culebra dolomite at the H-3 and H-4 hydropad locations from interpretation of the tracer-test data. The tracer-test configurations consisted of a pumping well and two tracer-addition wells arranged in approximate equilateral triangles with 30-m sides. The transport of organic tracers from the tracer-addition wells to the pumping wells was analyzed using the finite-difference model SWIFT II, which is capable of simulating single- and double-porosity flow and transport. 75 refs., 17 tabs.
