University of Kansas - Principal Investigator: Jyun Syun Tasu
Objective: The goal of this project is to aid in the prediction of improved oil recovery using a near-miscible CO2 flood in the Arbuckle formation. The evaluation plan will seek data that pertain to the pressure, residual oil saturation, reservoir properties and the nature of the flow from well to well. Single well transient pressure tests, multiple well interference tests, single well tracer tests, and interwell tracer tests will be conducted. All tests will be designed to determine the nature of the flow paths and average properties in the reservoir, to assess the effect of geology on process performance, to calibrate a reservoir simulation model, and to identify operational issues and concerns for future IOR applications.
Period of Performance: February 10, 2011 to February 10, 2013
