Abstract

Abstract In 1992, the economic viability of the SACROC Unit was somewhat uncertain. At that time, a multidisciplinary team was formed to improve operational efficiencies and reservoir performance. Better understanding of reservoir geology from detailed biostratigraphic analysis provided the framework to make effective changes. This paper discusses operational efficiency and reservoir exploitation projects implemented by the team.
