The East Vacuum Grayburg/San Andres Unit (EVGSAU), operated by Phillips Petroleum Company, is the site selected for a comprehensive evaluation of the use of foam for improving the effectiveness of a C0[sub 2] flood. The four-year project, jointly funded by the EVGSAU Working Interest Owners, the US Department of Energy, and the State of New Mexico, began in late 1989. The Petroleum Recovery Research Center, a division of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology is providing laboratory and research support for the project. A Joint Project Advisory Team composed of technical representatives from several major oil companies provides input, review, and guidance for the project. This third annual report details various aspects of the C0[sub 2]-Foam Field Verification Pilot test at EVGSAU. The report presents: (1) an overview of the operating plan for the project, (2) details of the foam injection schedule and design criteria, (3) a discussion of the data collection program and performance criteria to be used in evaluating successful application of foam for mobility control in the EVGSAU C0[sub 2] project, and (4) preliminary results from the field injection test. Specific items discussed in the foam injection design include the determination of surfactant volume and concentration, selection of the surfactant-alternating-gas (SAG) injection sequence for foam generation, field facilities, operations during foam injection, and contingency plans. An extensive data collection program for the project is discussed including production testing, injection well pressure and rate monitoring, injection profiles, production well logging, observation well logging program, and both gas and water phase tracer programs.
