Summary The reservoir engineering aspects of the design of a major west Texas CO2 flood are presented. The design included a detailed fieldwide geologic study, a CO2 injectivity test, laboratory work, and reservoir simulation. CO2 flooding is predicted to recover an additional 8% of the original oil in place (OOIP).
