DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR EOR SURFACTANT-POLYMER PROCESS SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS OF El DORADO PILOT PROJECT SIMULATION, BUTLER COUNTY, KANSAS Vol. II: Appendices
Data for the high-water-content process portion of the El Dorado Micellar-Polymer Demonstration Project were assessed relevant to evaluation of the project by numerical simulation. The data adequacy was measured against the data requirements for INTERCOMP's Chemical Flooding Ternary Equilibrium simulator.
Gulf Universities Research Consortium (GURC) is prime contractor to the United States Department of Energy (DOE) on a study involving the collection, collation, and analysis of data generated from demonstration projects sponsored by the DOE to help stimulate the economic development of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) within the U. S. One important goal of the DOE demonstration projects is to place necessary and sufficient information into the public domain so that a third party, with proper engineering evaluation of data from a particular test, can assess the economic feasibility of initiating EOR operations in a different section of the same field or in another similar field. Thus, GURC and the DOE seek to develop and transfer guidelines for a methodology comprising analytical and interpretive procedures for the intra- and inter-field analysis of DOE cost-shared field tests. These guidelines are to include the data and reporting required to support the methodology.
