Wyoming Oil & Gas Fair / Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute Joint Conference Presentation by by Steve Whitaker, Senior Petroleum Geologist, Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute - September 13, 2018

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.

Summary of Executive Orders Actions taken by the Biden administration in January 2021 which will have a direct impact on Wyoming’s economy. 

The purpose of this study was to report on the effectiveness of the Hyperscratcher tool in improving production or injection by cleaning out boreholes that have reported problems with scale, paraffin, or asphaltene build-up.

The Hyperscratcher tool was initially designed and used in California in the 1980s for workovers; as yet it has not been widely used in Wyoming.

Test results show use of the Hyperscratcher Tool significantly improved production in 7 of the 8 wells tested with production improvement varying from 20% to 120%.
