Field Testing and Diagnostics of Radial-Jet Well-Stimulation for Enhanced Oil Recovery from Marginal Reserves (09123-03)

New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology - Principal Investigator:  Robert Balch

Objective: The objective of the proposed research is to field demonstrate a newly developed radial jet technology for production enhancement from low‐permeability reserves.  Diagnostic techniques including distributed pressure sensors and electrical resistivity tomography for monitoring lateral direction and placement will also be developed and field tested.
 
Period of Performance:  March 28, 2011 to March 28, 2013
