Title: Cyclic CO/sub 2/ injection for light oil recovery: Performance of a cost shared field test in Louisiana: Summary annual report

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6010028· OSTI ID:6010028

The ultimate objective of this research is to provide a base of knowledge on the CO/sub 2/ huff ''n'' puff process for the enhanced recovery of Louisiana crude oil. Project goals include laboratory corefloods to investigate several parameters important to the process, and numerical simulation to interpret coreflood results. Additional activities include construction and evaluation of a field test data base, and development of a radial core setup. Finally, Department of Energy sponsored field test(s) will be implemented and evaluated. The results of all laboratory and field evaluations will be made available to the industry through workshops, periodic reports and meetings.
