Presentations

On August 14th, 2024 EORI held Enhanced Oil Recovery Insights featuring WOGCC Supervisor Tom Kropatsch.

Tom Kropatsch has been with the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (WOGCC) since 2010 and served as a Natural Resources Analyst, Natural Resources Supervisor, Deputy Supervisor, Interim Supervisor and since 2021 as the State Oil and Gas Supervisor. During his tenure at the WOGCC, Tom has been responsible for the implementation of the agency’s environmental programs such as baseline groundwater quality; remediation and disposal of exploration and production generated wastes; recycling, reuse, and disposal of flow back and produced water; spill and incident response; pit and seismic permitting; and the bonding program.

Background and objective

How do the high K strikes in core data possibly impact oil production Ash Creek field in Pilot 3?

Outline:

• Introduction & model settings
• Comparison of the simulation results
• Primary analysis of Ash Creek data
• Conclusions

Conclusions

1. The synthetic models of Pilot 3 area are generated and the simulations are completed.
2. The high values of core permeability do impact the production, injection efficiency, and sweep efficiency.
3. In general, an uniform permeability distribution over the entire field is better for high production, high injection and high sweep efficiency over the entire field.
4. However, in a small local area, cells having high permeability seems better for production. seems better for production.
5. High heterogeneity of the field made a high remaining oil in place and a high homogeneity field will produce a high amount of oil.
