The Company completed a Milnesand field CO2 implementation study analyzing the cost of the CO2 source pipeline, processing facilities, wellbore utilization, and pattern alignment. The study also included modeling the waterflood and CO2 injection in CO2 Prophet, an industry simulation software program developed by the Department of Energy. The study concluded that poor horizontal and vertical sweep in certain areas of the field would have to be addressed before implementation of a field-wide CO2 flood. Further study into the geology of the field found that in analogous fields, horizontal drilling with fracture stimulation resulted in higher recoveries and that horizontal wells provided better sweep efficiency in secondary and tertiary recovery.
