Reservoir modeling and composition simulation of primary depletion, waterflooding, and carbon dioxide flooding of a small Pennsylvanian carbonate mound complex, Anasazi field, Paradox Basin, Utah, Volume I (OFR-420)

By: W. E. Culham and D. M. Lorenz

This report presents the results of a comprehensive reservoir statistical modeling and oil-flow simulation engineering study of Runway field, Utah. The Runway reservoir is a deeper water bryozoan and phylloid-algal mound, found in many small fields in the Paradox Basin, Utah and Colorado.

Principal objectives were to develop a detailed quantitative description of the reservoir and use this description coupled with composition simulation to predict the oil-production performance of the mound complex under two different reservoir recovery processes: primary depletion and CO2 flooding.
