Marsnvest,

The water is thinner than the crude, thus flows easier through the soils or cracks in rock. From and engineering back ground, that is my assumption.

Badrguy,

We all want good info. Not bashers. Since you said,"Anyone who 'invests' in this company deserves to lose their investment." Then you must not have an investment in BDGR and are not planning any. You motives seem very suspicious, and I will request that the moderator remove you from the board.

"Now back to reality, can someone explain to me the process for separation when a mixture of water and oil is pumpedou of a well? How and where is it done? Also, it has been stated that after an initial flow the content of water in a well increases, what is the reason for this?"

All produced fluid from the well travels through flowlines to a tank battery. That facility typically has a little dyke around it and contains two or more stock tanks and a gunbarrel. "Gunbarrel" is the term for a tank that is taller than the storage tanks and separates the oil and the water. The separation is accomplished by gravity and improves with the volume of the gunbarrel. Its primitive but cheap.

Wells produce more water over time because as a well is produced fluids move towards the perforations in three dimensions. As oil moves UP from lower in the formation other fluid moves in to take the place of the oil. Water moves through the formation more easily than oil and so after a short while the well is said to have "water coned". Google "water coning" and you can learn a lot. The higher the permeability of the reservior and the lighter the oil the longer it takes for the water to cone in if all other factors are equal.
