Ash Minnelusa Unit Conclusions

  • Monitor, monitor, monitor. Make changes based upon

reservoir response

  • Improved understanding of the problem improves process

application and results

  • Volumetric sweep (gels) should be applied before mobility

control

  • Implement gel processes early for maximum benefits
  • Incremental oil expected to exceed 400,000 BBLS (18.4%

OOIP) for $0.88/BBL

  • Field experience is critical with gel processes. Experience at

Ash can be applied to other reservoirs.
