Total oil produced during 19*5 was 7»308 f 938 net barrels
or an average of 20^024 net barrels per day.
The rate of production has been held practically constant
throughout the year with distribution of production from the reser
voir being slightly altered due to the expansion of the artificial
gas cap. This has a tendency to cut down the flexibility of the
field and exemplifies the need of more wells as planned in the
forthcoming Development Program to maintain our desired rate of
production and scientific control of the reservoir necessary for
maximum ultimate recovery.
Chemical treatment of several rehabilitated wells was
resorted to in an attempt to restore their impaired productivities
resulting from the!** security in the Denial Scheme. These treat
ments have been only partially successful and there is some doubt
if further treatment will completely restore their former ability
to produce.
Gas Injection
without interruption throughout the year. The total daily
injection rate has remained constant to the two Pays, however, the
distribution of injected *ras was altered by increasing the propor
tion injected to Second Pay and decreasing the proportion injected
to First Pay. This was done to delay the capture of the First
Pay by gas in combination First and Second Pay wells a condition
which it was believed might be precipitated by excess channelling
concomitant with higher injection rates to First Pay. Gas for
injection was produced from Fourth Pay Zone ’’s'* as in the past.
Gas injected into First and Second Pays has continued
