Resource Abstract

This webinar focused on the Liberty Resources East Nesson Pilot Test that is being implemented via a single huff ‘n’ puff well in a 2560-acre spacing unit at the East Tioga Field in Mountrail County, North Dakota. The goals of the pilot are to demonstrate 1) the economic viability of enhanced oil recovery from the Bakken petroleum system by using produced rich gas in combination with water and surfactants and 2) the coinjection process can lower pressure and cost for utilizing produced gas and surfactants to mobilize oil in the reservoirs. The pilot test was designed, permitted, and conducted by Liberty Resources, in partnership with the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) through the Bakken Production Optimization Program (BPOP), and EOR ETC, LLC, an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology development company. The pilot was commissioned with the start of coinjection of produced gas and water with surfactant on September 9, 2021, with an initial injection cycle completed on October 11, 2021. The pilot test design, the novel coinjection technology developed by EOR ETC, permitting, execution of the pilot injection cycle, and certain observations and findings gathered through this injection phase were discussed.
