Mini-Waterflood: A New Cost Effective Approach to Extend the Economic Life of Small, Mature Oil Reservoirs (08123-07)

New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology - Principal Investigator:  Dr. Thomas W. Engler

Objective:  The goal of this project is to investigate a new, “mini-waterflood” strategy for enhancing oil recovery from small, mature fields. The project combines reservoir simulation and core displacement studies to evaluate the feasibility of the mini-flood concept. The broader objective is to provide small producers with knowledge and tools needed to improve recovery and extend the life of small, depleted oil fields.
 
Period of Performance:  August 5, 2009 to August 5, 2011
