Well NAM-1 • Produced water injection into far flank of reservoir • Sandstone 1-2 Darcy • TVD ca. 1800 m, injection interval 110 m • Cased - perforated (6spf 60 DP) • OIW 50-250 ppm • TSS ‘high’ (from settling tank). FeS, wax, sand. • II ca. 40 m3/d/bar. 1500 m3/d injection @ 60 bar THP. • No indication of stress anomaly. 0.7 psi/ft 100 bar THP! • PW negligible cooling

Well NAM-1: fractured or not? • II deterioration very slow: 25% in 2 yrs (600,000 m3 of water) • Step-rate tests: Constant slope (II) of 40-50 m3/d/bar. No inflection point. • ‘Ideal’ (undamaged) matrix II estimated at 90 m3/d/bar. • SR tests: Intercept p-axis dependent on shut-in time. ‘Leaking box’ reservoir? (nearby faults known). • Injection pressure far below frac pressure. • II appears to increase with injection rate.
