【 摘 要 】

Texaco Exploration and Production Inc. (TEPI) and the US Department of Energy (DOE) entered into a cost sharing cooperative agreement to conduct an Enhanced Oil Recovery demonstration project at Port Neches. The field is located in Orange County near Beaumont, Texas. The project would demonstrate the effectiveness of the CO(sub 2) miscible process in Fluvial Dominated Deltaic reservoirs. It would also evaluate the use of horizontal CO(sub 2) injection wells to improve the overall sweep efficiency and determine the recovery efficiency of CO(sub 2) floods in waterflooded and partial waterdrive reservoirs. Texaco's objective on this project was (1) to utilize all available technologies, and to develop new ones, and (2) to design a CO(sub 2) flood process which is cost effective and can be applied to many other reservoirs throughout the US. A database of potential reservoirs for the gulf coast region was developed by LSU, using a screening model developed by Texaco Research Center in Houston. A PC-based CO(sub 2) screening model was developed and the aforementioned database generated to show the utility of this technology throughout the US.
