E N H A N C E D O I L R E C O V E R Y I N S T I T U T E

  • Geologic formations/petroleum reservoirs
  • Minnelusa
  • Tensleep

  • Generated over 1 million barrels of new oil reserves.

Additional reserves related to EOR can be roughly estimated to be an order of magnitude greater than reserves resulting from increased primary/secondary production.

  • Use of new technology was demonstrated (e.g. 3D seismic

in Minnelusa reservoirs).

  • Technology information can be transferred to other
  • perators in the Big Horn Basin.
  • Other fields have been acquired by oil companies to initiate

additional work.

Gross Revenue 1,000,000 BO x $60.00/BO = $60,000,000 Tax to WY and Counties in WY $60,000,000 X .12 = $7,200,000 $60,000,000 x .16 = $9,600,000 Jobs created in Wyoming. Direct Indirect

Benefit of New Oil Reserves

E N H A N C E D O I L R E C O V E R Y I N S T I T U T E

  • Anticipate operators technical needs for

development of CO2 floods

  • Think “outside the box” to identify new sources of

CO2

  • Track policy decisions that will affect the

availability and price of CO2

  • Share information with operations personnel

through workshops and conferences
