Oil Production Response due to Water Injection In O’ Daniel Pilot
Volume of Water Injection until On-trend Production Wells Start Responding Note: Volume CO2 injected up to 2/10/02: 46,966 bbls Brunson C-2 (429,807 bbls) Brunson F-1 (170,244 bbls) Brunson G-1 (757,551 bbls)
CO2 injection vs. water injection CO2 injection: • Total volume of CO2 injection is 84,539 MSCF (~ 46,966 bbls) from 2/26/01 to 2/10/02. Water injection: • Total volume of water injection is 170,244 bbls until oil starts responding (1/1/99 to 8/18/99). • Full water injection started on 10/3/99.

Does WAG improve oil recovery? Effect of CO2 Injection on Oil Production Rate at Well ET O Daniel A-1
31-Jan-2001 17-Apr-2001 Log response on CO2 injection 1U 2U Shaded area shows response due to CO2 injection 3U 4U 5U
Well #41 Well #42 “Temperature logs show that CO2 injection is not localized to just 1U and 5U zones” (EPIC)
Summary • LOW response and temperature logs indicate CO2 injection occurs throughout the Upper Spraberry interval, consistent with the notion that hydraulic fractures dominate CO2 movement in the interior of the pilot • Most of the produced CO2 is from the interior pilot wells, the 38, 39 and 40, probably through non-pay shaly zones, i.e. 3U
Summary • To the contrary, the E.T. O’Daniel A-1 which is oriented directly along the known natural fracture trend from the CO2 injection wells has produced a very low total volume of CO2 • Oil has been mobilized to the E.T. O’Daniel A-1 as indicated by C1 enrichment and incremental oil response. No enrichment is observed in the interior pilot wells • The total volume of CO2 injected to date compared to the volume of water required for incremental waterflood recovery is still considerably low • WAG does not improve sweep efficiency or improve oil recovery
