Abstract:
The Dix pool, in northwest Jefferson County, Illinois, produces chiefly from the Bethel sand. From its discovery in early 1938 until the middle of 1945, bottom-hole pressures were kept above reservoir-saturation pressure. Because of the influence of Bethel production in the Boyd pool discovered in the summer of 1944 and located 2 miles southwest of Dix, the bottom-hole pressures at Dix began to approach the reservoir-saturation pressure.
Since it was not advisable to restrict production to a point that would maintain satisfactory pressure, a program for the drilling of water-injection wells for the purpose of pressure maintenance is now underway at Dix.
