A major goal of DOE'S Oil Program is maintaining access to the wells in mature and marginal fields for application of available and developing technologies that can reduce operating costs and increase production A common problem limiting production in many fields is variation in type, thickness and continuity of reservoir strata, creating isolated "pods" of oil that are difficult to locate, drill and produce. Improved methods of "seeing" the reservoir makeup are needed to find these potential reserves. This project is designed to demonstrate the advantages of using modern three-dimensional seismic surveys, advanced imaging techniques and computer simulation to determine the optimal location of new wells and select the most efficient oil recovery processes that will upgrade the performance of oil fields in the Delaware Basin. If successful, project results can be applied to more than 100 other "plays" in the Basin, which collectively contain 1 .5 billion barrels of remaining oil.
