Solid propellants
provide cost-effective stimulation in marginal wells
Dr. Richard A. Schmidt, J
Integral Engineering, Inc., West Linn, Ore, and Wilford M. Ashley, Ashley Oil, Inc., Casey, Ill. |
|
Many oil and gas wells can be stimulated
effectively with a progressively burning, solid propellant that produces multiple fractures. |

Producing partial
waterdrive gas reservoir at high rate maximizes profitability
Dana Westphal, Ocean
Energy, Lafayette, La.; and John McMullan, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, La. |
|
Ocean Energy achieved a 70% recovery and maximized
profitability from a downdip waterdrive gas completion by aggressively producing the zone at high rates. |
|

controller reduces electricity costs
Doug Torr, CamWest, Inc., McKinney, Texas; and
Dan Mooney, Aurion Technologies, Inc. Dallas, Texas |
|
CamWest, Inc., an independent based in Denver,
Colorado, and McKinney, Texas, operates more than 120 oil wells in Lander, Wyoming. |

Small-scale 3-D seismic
shoot adds new oil reserves
Dale Helpingstine; and Don Williams,
Shakespeare Oil Company; Phil Caserotti; Geophysical and Geological Consultant; and Steve
Gustison, Midwest Region PTTC |
|
Shakespeare Oil redefined the structural
interpretation of the Devonian Geneva dolomite reservoir in Tonti field, Marion County, Ill., using data
from a 0.375-sq-mi 3-D seismic survey. |
