PRODUCTIOK
Oil production from the field during 1946 totalled 8 9 009»B02 net barrels*
an average of 21*945 net barrels daily. Total net oil production and daily average
by months is given in Tabulation No.H.
Field production rate mas increased during the year as additional wells and
gas injection facilities provided in the development program mere completed. The
increase In gas Injection rate afforded by the provision of additional gas
injection wells has resulted in the ability to control the influx of extraneous
water into the reservoir thus permitting this higher rate of withdrawal.
The field was being produced at the rate of 25*000 net barrels daily at the
end of the year.
As previously mentioned in this report* two additional gas injection wells
were drilled during the year and facilities were provided to permit the injection
of additional quantities of Fourth Pay Zone "E" gas into the main First and Second
Pay producing horizons. Gas for this purpose being supplied, as in past years*
through Veil No.51«
Gas injection to First Pay through Well No.62 has remained at a constant rate
while injection rate to Second Pay through Well No.63* 75 and 78 (the latter two
being the new wells) has been increased. Veil Nos. 63 and 75 are completed to
inject into Second Pay Limestone Zone "A" and Veil No.78 is completed to inject
into Second Pay Siltstone Zone "C". Injection rates were regulated to retard edge
water advance on the basis of past observations and as more data is collected the
rate will be further increased until the optimum rate is determined. The
beneficial effect of the increased injection irate is discemable in the maintenance
of reservoir pressure and edge water control.
