Integrated Multi-Scale Procedure for Improved CO2 EOR Using High-Res 3-D Reservoir
Characterization
Benefit: Developed techniques when applied to 5% of the Permian Basin expected to add 53 million barrels to the recoverable reserves
Date: Q2 2005 Place: SACROC Unit, Midland, TX Participants: Advanced Resources International,
Kinder Morgan
Milestone Description: Drill and core 4 wells
Distributed Generation Power Units atCalifornia Marginal Oil Well Sites
Utilizing Oil-Field Casing-Head Gas as a Fuel Source
Benefit: Determine the potential of utilized stranded gas, defined as natural gas that cannot be produced due to regulatory or gas pipeline restrictions. This stranded gas, if utilized, is capable of generating electricity to run oil well pumps by burning the poor quality gas. By correctly utilizing this resource, these thought to be useless wells can now produce the oil that otherwise would be shut-in or abandoned.
Date: February 2005 Place: Los Angeles, CA Participants: IOGCC, COPE, CEC, SCAQMD
Milestone Description: Publication of semi-annual results; Test casinghead medium BTU off-gas in distributed generation as an electrical power source in California
New Technology DevelopmentNotable Milestones
Developing Improved Coiled Tubing Using Microwave Technology
Quantification Program for Understanding Casing Integrity of Through-Salt and Near-Salt Wells
Development of Compact Multiphase Separator
Developing Improved Coiled TubingUsing Microwave Technology
Benefit: Significantly more durable coiled tubing for drilling applications; enables industry use of superior, cost effective alloys
Date: Q3 2005 Place: Houston, TX Participants: Penn State University,
Dennis Tool Company
Milestone Description: Completion of third party test verification of diffusion bonded tubing establishing feasibility of microwave process for making superior coiled tubing
Tubing made from microwave processed “greenbodies”,
pressed powder metal
Well Integrity of Sub-Salt GOM Casing
Benefit: By knowing the exact casing strengths required to prevent collapse or shear, oil companies can save millions by eliminating the very expensive practice of over-engineering.
Date: Q3 2005 Place: Albuquerque, NM Participants: Sandia National Lab.,
BP,ChevronTexaco, ConocoPhillips, Kerr-McGee, BHP, ExxonMobil, Shell, and Petrobras

Federal Lands Technology Partnership
Milestone Description: DOE along with BLM and the Forest Service expect to sign an MOU to jointly pursue research related to the environmental impacts of oil and gas development on Federal lands
Benefit: The MOU represents a multi-agency commitment to ensure that environmental protection standards for Federal lands are based on sound science. This MOU will help to ensure that the nation’s oil and gas resources are produced while protecting the environment.
Date: July 2005 Place: Washington, D.C. Participants: DOE, Bureau of Land Management,
Forest Service
Produce More Oil & Gas via e-Business Data Sharing
Milestone Description: Beta-test of an on-line permitting and data management system for the State of California.
Benefit: The system is designed to allow the state to make better permitting decisions faster and allow operators to receive their permits without waiting for the mail. A side-benefit of having the State’s data on-line is that operators from across the country can evaluate well and production data to evaluate development and investment prospects.
Date: May 2005 Place: Sacramento and Bakersfield, California Participants: Ground Water Protection Council, State
of California
Adaptive Management and Planning Models for Cultural Resources in Oil & Gas Fields in New
Mexico and Wyoming Milestone Description: Release beta-test version of the
cultural resources model for use by the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and BLM
Benefit: The model will allow faster access to oil and gas resources on Federal lands by allowing operators to locate their pads in areas that are less likely to require extensive surveys. The model also allows the SHPO to concentrate its effort on those projects that are more likely to encounter artifacts. This project will provide greater protections and reduce time and costs for operators.
