Resource Abstract
This final report to the North Dakota Industrial Commission summarizes Bakken Production Optimization Program (BPOP) achievements for the second phase of the program. Significant achievements directly attributable to this program have made measurable, positive impacts to how the business of oil and gas exploration and production is accomplished in North Dakota. The following is a small sampling of concrete examples of these impacts: Liberty Resources conducted a rich gas injection pilot test for enhanced oil recovery at its Stomping Horse complex in Williams County, North Dakota. BPOP-supported laboratory, modeling, and field-based investigations provided key lessons for future pilots in unconventionals. The analysis of refrac activities developed selection criteria for candidate wells and identified effective treatment approaches. Produced fluid characterization was used to gain a better understanding of the resource and support facilities process modeling and reservoir modeling. Fugitive emissions issues were examined, including assessment of emission measurement and control technologies. Reservoir performance data analytics and modeling were used to identify and assess key reservoir and well performance metrics across the entire North Dakota portion of the Bakken play. Assessments of formations and wells used for produced water disposal were conducted, including identification of key reservoir and well performance metrics to enable better planning of surface facility development. Oil composition (ratios of aromatic to aliphatic compounds) was evaluated as a potential means of identifying the source of produced oil (shales vs. nonshales).
