Performance of Jay/LEC fields unit under mature waterflood and early tertiary operations

Secondary oil recovery for the Jay/Little Escambia Creek (LEC) Fields Unit will exceed initial estimates by 27 X 10/sup 6/ bbl (4.3 X 10/sup 6/ m/sup 3/) because of innovative reservoir management based on a comprehensive surveillance program and detailed reservoir description data. Infill drill wells have accounted for 76 X 10/sup 6/ bbl (12 X 10/sup 6/ m/sup 3/) of oil production. The mature waterflood was phased into a tertiary recovery project in 1981, and early performance is generally consistent with the planning study, which predicted that 47 X 10/sup 6/ bbl (7.5 X 10/sup 6/ m/sup 3/) of tertiary oil will be recovered.
