Enhanced Oil Recovery with CO2Presentation to the Wyoming Pipeline AuthorityJuly 25, 2006 Presented by: Craig Walters Area Manager
Agenda • Overview of CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) • Wyoming CO2-EOR Assets • Anadarko Projects • Salt Creek, WY • Monell, WY • Linch, WY
# Projects CO2 EOR – A Mature Technology • Industry has over 30 years experience • Anadarko has been involved for 10 years, 3 in Wyoming • Operated in multiple basins • Over 80 projects in existence • Over 230,000 BBL/D due to CO2 injection Source: Oil & Gas Journal
Production Phase Recovery (% OOIP) Primary Production 6 – 15 % Waterflood 6 – 20 % 8 – 20 % Miscible CO2 Flood 20 – 65 % At certain temperatures and pressures, CO2 and oil will mix completely – termed miscible. Miscible fluids tend to prefer the same flow paths, resulting in more oil being swept to the producer. Produce Oil, Water & CO2 Inject CO2 How Miscible CO2 Flooding Works
CO2 EOR – Attributes • Benefits • Extends life of mature fields – increased production, long-life reserves • Low chance of complete technical failure • Environmentally friendly – sequestration of greenhouse gas • Challenges • Requires the “right” reservoir – rock, fluids, depth, size / OOIP • CO2 availability, cost and distance to pipeline • Significant, up-front capital investments with long payouts • Higher operating expenses – CO2 recycle • Access to resources – expertise, software, technology, goods / services • Future oil prices – Does anyone have a crystal ball?

Monell Unit – Performance Current Rates 3,000 BOPD 33 MMCFD CO2 Injection 15,000 BOPD
Summary • CO2-EOR is a mature technology • Wyoming has 3 key ingredients for future growth • Amenable field characteristics • Significant CO2 reserves at La Barge – can be utilized for EOR • Good start to pipeline infrastructure • Be prepared / Proceed with caution • Significant up-front capital investments – long term projects • Do your homework • Anadarko’s Wyoming projects have been successful • Questions??
