“…Because the methodology of reservoir characterization is complex, multidisciplinary, and reiterative, and because the methodology is not widely practiced or understood throughout the industry, it 'is a prime candidate for technology transfer by a computer-based or expert system approach. Honarpour et al (1989) describe a simple deterministic system developed to advise users how to properly collect geoscience and engineering data for building a reservoir characterization model. More complete coverage of the various facets of reservoir characterization methodologies by such tools would be helpful to Class 4 operators seeking to define their reservoir characterization needs.…”

“…Other oil and gas production data such as cumulative or current production, gas-oil ratios, etc., when mapped, can give useful information about reservoir characteristics if man-induced effects are properly considered. Honarpour et al (1989) by reviewing water-cut production data. Honarpour and Tomutsa (1990) confumed the presence of geologically inferred faults and, by comparing actual waterflood front advancement with simulations assuming various positions and transmissibilities of faults, determined the sealing versus nonsealing nature of those faults.…”

“…Asecond Uninood" micellar-polymer project was started in 1981 in Bell Creek Unit A. Project location was about 3.5 miles south of the first pilot in an area that geological and engineering investigation had established as being more homogeneous (Honarpour et al, 1989). Results were more favorable, and cumulative tertiary oil production from the 179-acre project area was 1.37 million barrels of oil throughAugust 1987.…”

“…An extensive, integrated geological and engineering analysis of the Bell Creek Unit A p h a r y , secondary, and tertiary production from the two tertiary pilots was supported by the DOE (Sharma et al, 1990;Honarpour et al, 1989;Jackson et al, 1991;Cheng and Sharma, 1991). Besides demonstrating integrated reservoir management techniques, this work defined the mechanisms that control production in Bell Creek Unit A.…”

CHAPTER2 DESCRIPTION OF THE RESOURCE The Department of Energy has defined Class 4 for the cost-shared oil recovery field demonstration program as strandplain/banier island reservoirs. This depositionally defied class of reservoirs represents a significant portion of the Nation's oil resource, as described in the DOE Tertiary O i l Recovery Information System (I'ORIS). The purpose of Chapter 2 is to present an overview of the reservoir, production, and geological characteristics of Class 4 reservoirs. Section 2.1 descriies the overall strandplain/banier island resource in the country based on an analysis of 330 Class 4 reservoirs listed in the TORIS database. Section 2.2 describes the general geological characteristics of strandplai4barrier island reservoirs based on a comprehensive review of the relevant geological literature. Section 2.3 presents an overview of the major Class 4 plays in the United States and includes summaries of the resource, reservoir, and production characteristics, as well as a summary of the recovery processes that have been used in these plays. The major plays are described in detail in Chapters 3 through 6. This facies, dong with the often overlying eolian facies, discussed below, constitutes the best reservoir rock associated with strandplainbarrier island systems.
