An Evaluation of the Bell Creek Field Micellar- Polymer Pilot

A review of the performance of the Gary Energy Corporation micellar-polymer pilot in the Bell Creek Field has been completed. The ultimate recovery beyond waterflooding is projected to be 27,000 barrels of oil, compared to an anticipated level of 90,000 barrels from simulation studies. The projected incremental recovery is subject to uncertainties since significant secondary oil was being produced at the initiation of chemical injection. The predicted recover from simulation studies is considered to be optimistic, principally because the displaceable oil saturations were assumed too high. Although the anticipated recovery may have been optimistic, it is clear that the level of increased oil recovery has been disappointing and that the economics of a project if expanded would be unfavorable.
