The North Stanley Polymer Demonstration Project is a cooperative venture between Kewanee Oil Company and ERDA. The project is the result of a response to a request for proposals for secondary oil recovery by controlled waterflooding. The objective of the project (to be completed in June 1978) is to demonstrate the efficiency and economics of recovering tertiary oil from a highly heterogenous reservoir (which has been successfully waterflooded, but is nearing the economic limit) by injecting a polymer slug of tapered concentrations to improve the sweep efficiency of the reservoir. The project will be a true field test as it encompasses, 1010 productive acres and 72 million barrels of pore volume, utilizes the current producing and injection wells, and has a well-defined producing history which can be used as a baseline for judging project response.
