ABSTRACT

The Nash Draw pool in Eddy County, New Mexico, is a field demonstration site in the Department of Energy Class III (Slope Basin Clastic Reservoirs) program. Production is from the basal Brushy Canyon zones of the Permian (Guadalupian) Delaware Mountain Group. The basic problem at the Nash Draw pool is the low recovery typically observed in similar Delaware fields. By comparing production performance for a control area using standard infill drilling techniques to a pilot area developed using advanced reservoir characterization methods, the goal of the project is to demonstrate that advanced technology can significantly improve oil recovery.
