CLINTON SAND RESERVOIR CHARACTERISTICS ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESSFUL WATERFLOODING--A PROGRESS REPORT

Leo A. Schrider, Petroleum Engineer, Morgantown Petroleum Research Laboratory, Bureau of Mines, U. S. Department of the Interior, Morgantown, West Virginia

ABSTRACT

In our evaluation of the waterflood potential of the Clinton sand, Hocking County, Ohio, it has become vividly clear that a better understanding of reservoir factors is vital. The effects of two of these factors, fluid saturation and fracture direction, are presented. A data retrieval and trend surface mapping technique was used to compile the large quantity of reservoir information. The usefulness and application of this data bank are discussed along with results of a trial test. Laboratory and field investigations of subsurface fluid-flow characteristics of this sand are also being performed. Results of this research should be valuable to operators planning secondary-recovery operations in the Clinton sand Reservoir in Ohio.
