CHEMICAL FLOOD PREDICTIVE MODEL
One of a Series of Reports in the Field of Energy Research and Development Under the
Agreement Between

Submitted by:
Approved by:
The Chemical Flood Predictive Model (CFPM) was developed for the Department of Energy
(DOE) by Intercomp Resource Development and Engineering, Incorporated, which is now part of
Scientific Software-Intercomp (551) Denver, Colorado. The model was developed to estimate
economically recoverable oil from reservoirs amenable to the chemical flood process while
requiring publicly available data. Publicly available data is generally limited to average rock and
fluid properties and is usually too limited to perform most simulation studies. For this reason, a
set of extensive defaults are built into the model - both in the predictive algorithms and the
economic routines. For versatility, each model allows the user to supply model required
parameters specific to the reservoir being evaluated.
CFPM was used in the 1982 - 1984 National Petroleum Council (NPC) study on EOR Potential.
The NPC reviewed and modified the predictive, economic, and data default routines to calibrate
the models with field histories and current economic standards.
The DOE, in a cooperative research program with the Ministry of Energy and Mines of Venezuela
(MEMV), made this predictive model available to Venezuela for documentation. Annex III of the
cooperative research program required Venezuela to select and fund a contractor to document
the five models used in the 1984 study. SSI was selected as the contractor to document the
models. The documentation for CFPM is being published as a joint DOE/MEMV document.
The user may wish to change the data input methodology to read the extensive data required for
the model from a sequential file (user defined). This change will facilitate the user evaluating
sensitivity runs on specific reservoir properties and chemical flooding parameters as the user, on
making an input error, is required to start at the beginning of data input.

SECTION 1
SUMMARY OF CHEMICAL FLOOD PREDICTIVE MODEL
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Chemical Flood Predictive Model (CFPM) was developed by Scientific Software-Intercomp
for the U.S. Department of Energy and was used in the National Petroleum Council's (NPC) 1984
survey of U.S. enhanced oil recovery potential (NPC, 1984) * .
The CFPM models micellar (surfactant)-polymer (MP) floods in reservoirs which have been
previously waterflooded to residual oil saturation. Thus, only true tertiary floods are considered.
An option is available in the model which allows a rough estimate of oil recovery by caustic
(alkaline) or caustic-polymer processes. This caustic" option, added for the NPC survey, is not
modeled as a separate process. Rather, the caustic and caustic-polymer oil recoveries are
computed simply as 15% and 40%, respectively, of the MP oil recovery (see Section 1.5).
In the CFPM, an oil rate versus time function for a single pattern is computed and the results are
passed to the economic routines. To estimate multi-pattern project behavior, a pattern
development schedule must be specified. After-tax cash flow is computed by combining
revenues with capital costs for drilling, conversion and upgrading of wells, chemical handling
costs, fixed and variable operating costs, injectant costs, depreciation, royalties, severance,
state, federal, and windfall profit taxes, cost and price Inflation rates, and the discount rate. A
lumped parameter uncertainty routine is used to estimate risk, and allows for variation in
computed project performance within an 80% confidence interval.
The CFPM uses theory and the results of numerical simulation to predict MP oil recovery in five-
spot patterns. Oil-bank and surfactant breakthrough and project life are determined from
fractional flow theory. A Koval-type factor, based on the Dykstra-Parsons (1950) coefficient, is
used to account for the effects of reservoir heterogeneity on surfactant and oil bank velocities.
The overall oil recovery efficiency is the product of the efficiencies for 1-D displacement, vertical
sweep of surfactant, and polymer sweep. The displacement efficiency is determined from the
capillary number, which is in turn a function of permeability, depth and well spacing. Correlations
derived from the results of numerical simulation are used to express vertical sweep efficiency as
a function of surfactant slug size, surfactant adsorption and reservoir heterogeneity. The polymer
sweep efficiency is an empirical factor developed from numerical simulation and is a function of
the polymer slug size and the vertical sweep efficiency. The overall recovery efficiency is
corrected for the effects of crossflow by a formula, again developed from the results of numerical
simulation, which depends on the ratio of vertical to horizontal permeability.
A summary of the theory and assumptions used to develop the reservoir and economic
algorithms is given in Sections 1.2-1.6. The theoretical discussion relies heavily on SPE 10733
(Paul et al, 1982) attached at the end of Section 1, and on two DOE reports (DOE: 1980, 1983).
An overview of the CFPM program logic and structure is shown in Figure 1-1. This flowchart
shows the reservoir subroutines through OUTR and the economic subroutines through OUTE.

The flags TECH1 and TECH2 in subroutines TECH (Figure 1-1) are used to determine if
reservoir temperature and resident brine salinity, respectively, pass the technical screening
criteria for MP flooding. These criteria are somewhat arbitrary, and the maximum allowable
values in the CFPM are defaulted as 200F and 100,000 ppm total dissolved solids (TDS).
(These are the limits above which NPC rejected reservoirs for MP flooding). In the CFPM, if
either the limit for temperature (TMAX) or salinity (SMAX), whether defaulted or entered by the
user, is exceeded by the respective values input (TEMP and SALIN) for the reservoir in question,
the message "RESERVOIR FAILED TECHNICAL SCREEN" is printed and the model will not
execute.
Data entry for the CFPM is described in Section 2. Reservoir data are Input using "R" cards
(Section 2.1), and economic data using "E cards (Section 2.2). Defaults are available for most of
the data, and default equations are described either within the data input string in Section 2, or in
Section 3 if a lengthy explanation is required. As described in Section 2.1, if "required" reservoir
data are not input with a value greater than zero, the error check ICHK (Figure 1-1) is positive
and error messages are printed as shown in Table 2-5. If ICHK>O, other reservoir and the
economic data will be processed, but the program will not execute.
A base case example run illustrating the types of CFPM output tables is discussed in Section 4.1.
Sensitivity runs compared to the base case are discussed in Section 4.2.
The functions of the main program and all subroutines are described in Section 5, and variables
in labeled common are defined in Section 6.
In the CFPM, the micellar-polymer target oil is assumed to be that remaining in the waterflood
swept zone; that is, the areal sweep of the MP flood is assumed to be the same as the preceding
waterflood. These assumptions restrict the CFPM to tertiary (post-waterflood) oil, and yield a
target oil volume which will generally be conservative.
The CFPM does not reduce to a waterflood model in the absence of surfactant or polymer, or to a
polymer flood model in the absence of surfactant. Although surfactant adsorption is considered,
polymer adsorption is neglected in the CFPM.
The MP displacement efficiency is a function of the capillary number which is calculated internally
from permeability, depth, and well spacing. This calculation assumes a constant micellar phase-
oil phase interfacial tension of 10-3 dyne/cm and applies only to five-spot patterns.
The injection-production rate, QSS (card R9), whether defaulted or entered by the user, is
constant over the life of the flood. For the injectivity calculation, the surfactant slug viscosity is
assumed to have the same viscosity as oil.
Finally, the profile of the MP oil production curve for heterogeneous reservoirs is assumed to be
triangular, with oil and surfactant breakthrough calculated from fractional flow theory. The peak
oil rate (apex of triangle) is assumed to occur at the time of surfactant breakthrough. In the
calculations for oil production in heterogeneous media, it is assumed that there will be no change
3
in the surfactant velocity when the polymer front overtakes the surfactant front. As this will
happen predominantly in the low permeability layers, the error in the calculated overall oil
recovery will be small.
This section contains a brief discussion of the CFPM oil recovery algorithms. The NPC Chemical
Flood Task Group made a number of significant modifications to the original model. These
modifications are also discussed in this section. The NPC modifications may be invoked in the
model by setting the switch NPC=1 on card R1; if NPC=0, the original CFPM algorithms are
used. The modified NPC results are compared with those of the original CFPM in Section 4.2.
Surfactant Retention
Surfactant retention is composed of surfactant adsorption onto clays (AS, mg surfactant/g rock),
surfactant trapping and other surfactant loss mechanisms. In the CFPM, surfactant retention
reflects clay adsorption only, with
AS=3.3*WCLAY 1.1
where WCLAY (card R6) is the weight fraction of clay (default 0.10). Equation 1.1 was developed
from literature values for sulfonate surfactant adsorption onto sandstone (DOE, 1980). (It should
be noted that the lithology indicator ILIT (card R2, = 1 for sandstone, = 2 for carbonate) applies
only to defaults for relative permeability endpoints on card R8, and that if ILIT=2 is selected, there
is no default in the CFPM for surfactant adsorption on carbonate rock.)
In the CFPM, it is more convenient to express AS in units of pore volumes of surfactant injected,
DS (subroutine OPTIM)
DS = ((1.0-PHI)/PHI)*(RHOR/RHOS)*(AS/CS)/1000.0, 1.2
where PHI (card R6) is porosity, RHOR (card R7) and RHOS (card R7) are the densities (g/ml) of
rock and surfactant, respectively, and CS (card R7) is the volume fraction surfactant in the
injected slug. The default for DS is then calculated from Equation 1.2 with AS from Equation 1.1.
Because the default for DS will probably underestimate surfactant retention (there is good
historical evidence for this, e.g., see Figure 2, SPE 10733, attached), the default may be
overridden by reading a positive value for DSIN (in pore volumes) on card R6. It should be noted
that if NPC=1 on card R2 the value of DS used by the model is fixed at 0.1154.
If the chemical flood target oil (TO, subroutine TARGET) is defined as the oil remaining in the
waterswept portion of the reservoir, and if this is further reduced by the fraction of the reservoir
below bottom water (FBW, card R4) and above a gas cap (FGC, card R4), then if a positive value
for the original oil-in-place OOIP, MMSTB) is specified on card R4
TO = (SORW/(SOI-SORW))*(COIL-OOIP*(1.0-BOI/BOF))* 1.3
(1.0-FBW-FGC),
4
or if OOIP.LE.0.0 on card R4,
TO = SORW*COIL/(SOI-SORW), 1.4
where SORW (card R8) is the residual oil saturation to waters SOI=1.0-SWC is the initial oil
saturation (SWC is the connate water saturation, card R8), COIL, MMSTB (card R4) is the
cumulative oil produced at the end of waterflooding, and BOI (card R5) and BOF (card R5) are
the initial (pre-waterflood) and final (post-waterflood, pre-chemical flood), oil formation volume
factors RB/STB, respectively. Equation 1.3 is based upon a material balance at the end of
waterflooding (Lake et al, 1978).
The floodable pore volume FPV (MMRB) for all patterns follows from
DA = FPV/7758./PHI/PAY, 1.6
where PAY (card R6) is the net reservoir pay thickness (ft). The number of patterns is
where APAT is the pattern area (card R9), and the pattern floodable pore volume (MMRB) is
It should be noted that the XNPAT in Equation 1.7 is the number of patterns which may be
ultimately developed, but the number of patterns scheduled by the user on card E12 need not
sum to XNPAT.
The volume of target oil recoverable, RTO (MMSTB) is given by (subroutine RECOVR)
where ER is the tertiary oil recovery efficiency. ER may be expressed as the product of the linear
(1-D) displacement efficiency, ED, the vertical sweep efficiency, EV, and the chase polymer
sweep efficiency, EMB:
ER = ED*EV*EMB 1.10
The 1-D, linear displacement efficiency, ED, may be entered directly by the user as EDIN on card
R7 (obtained, e.g., from large slug floods in field cores). Alternatively, the user may enter EDIN =
0.0 and take the default for ED, which is computed as a function of the capillary number, CAP
(subroutine CAPNO)
where CP, psi/ft (card R9) is an injectivity coefficient, PERM, md (card R6) is permeability,
DEPTH, ft (card R9) is reservoir depth, and A=APAT/2.0 is the well spacing. Equation 1.11 was
5
developed for confined five-spot patterns (Lake and Pope, 1979). In the CFPM, the CAP from
Equation 1.10 is adjusted as a function of the ratio of the relative permeability end-points (card
R8), RPERM = (KORW/KORO), to the equivalent CAP for water-wet (Berea) rock, and ED is then
determined from the digitized capillary desaturation curves for Berea (Gupta and Trushenski,
1979). This is done by interpolating between the limits RPERM = 0.1 at CAP = 10**-5 for water-
wet rock and RPERM = 10.0 at CAP = 10**-4 for oil-wet rock. The actual curves used are shown
in Figure 3, SPE 10733.
The dimensionless surfactant slug size, VPSDS, is the ratio of the pore volumes slug injected,
VPS, to DS, the surfactant retention in pore volumes
With VPSDS read on card R7 and DS from Equation 1.2, VPS is back calculated by the model
from Equation 1.12 if NPC=0. For NPC=1, VPS is set to 0.15*VPSDS/1.3.
The theoretical treatment for EV is given in SPE 10733, and will not be repeated here. For
layered reservoirs, assuming an infinite number of layers, the vertical sweep efficiency is given by
(subroutine VERTSW)
EV = CM + VPSDS*(1.0-FM), 1.13
where CM and FM are the storage capacity and flow capacity, respectively, of layer M (where the
polymer front overtakes the surfactant front)
FM = ((EFF/VPSDS)**0.5)-EFF)/(1.0-EFF) 1.14
CM = 1.0/(EFF*(1.0/FM-1.0)+1.0). 1.15
EFF is the effective mobility ratio, introduced to account for heterogeneity in layered reservoirs
and is calculated empirically (Paul et al, 1982) from the Dykstra-Parsons coefficient, VDP (card
R6)
In the CFPM, EFF is bounded from below by 1. 3. EFF is similar to the Koval (1963) "H-factor
which is used to represent the fingers developed in homogeneous media during unstable
miscible displacement (see Figure A-1, SPE 10733 and associated discussion). For the one
layer homogeneous case, FM=CM=0.0 and EV=1.0.
If NPC=1 (card R2), Equation 1.13 is still used to compute vertical sweep efficiency, but the value
of VPSDS read on card R7 is reduced to VPSDS
where VPSDS' is bounded from below by 0.6067, and the EV in Equation 1.17 is calculated from
Equation 1.12 using the value of VPSDS read on card R7. The final EV is then re-calculated
using VPSDS'. This NPC modification has the effect of reducing the vertical sweep efficiency for
a given slug size.
6
Polymer Sweep Efficiency
The polymer (mobility buffer) sweep efficiency, EMB, is defined as a capture efficiency, or volume
oil produced/volume oil mobilized (subroutine RECOVR):
where VPMB (card R9) is the pore volumes of polymer slug injected, and
The oil production curve, computed in subroutine PROD, is assumed triangular with base
determined by the time of oil breakthrough (TDBT) and time to sweep out to zero oil rate (TSW),
and the apex by the peak oil rate (QOPK), as shown in Figure 1-2.
OIL RATE,
BOPD
QOPK
AREA = ERTO
TOBT TS TSW
where RESID=1.0-ED. If NPC=1, VELS in Equation 1.20 is multiplied by 0.5. The model next
computes (subroutine CROSS) the intersection (FWB, SWB) of the straight line passing through
the points (FW=0, SW=-DS) and (FW=1.0, SW=1.0 - SORW*RESID) with the water-oil fractional
flow curve (subroutine RELP). The stabilized oil bank saturation and fractional flow are then
SOB=1.0-SWB and FOB=1.0-FOB, respectively.
7
The dimensionless breakthrough times (fractional pore volumes) of the oil bank (TDOBT) and
surfactant (TDS) are then
and
where
If NPC = 1, FOPK in Equation 1.24 is multiplied by 0.7. Using the formula for a triangle of area
ER*TO, the dimensionless time at zero oil rate is
The overall recovery efficiency ER (Equation 1.10) is next increased to a value ER to account for
the effects of crossflow:
where RL is the dimensionless crossflow number, bounded from below by 0.025, and
RL = SQRT(XKVKH)*XLIP/PAY, 1.29
where
If RL < 0.25, as will be the case for no crossflow (XKVKH=0.0), then FCF=1.0. If NPC = 1, FCF is
bounded from above by 1.3, i.e., the increase in recovery efficiency due to crossflow may not
exceed 130% of the no-crossflow efficiency.
where TRL=1.25 if NPC=0, or 2.5 if NPC=1. Because rate impacts both the breakthrough time
and project life, estimates of QSS must be reasonably accurate if valid economic predictions are
to be made.
8
Experience with the CFPM has shown that when NPC=0 and CP=0.2 are used to estimate QSS
by Equation 1.32, the model matches reasonably well the results of field floods in which high-
water content (HWC) surfactant slugs (slugs which contain at least 90% water by volume) are
used. However, the model generally overestimates the results of floods using the more viscous
soluble-oil slugs (slugs which contain up to 50% hydrocarbons). This is because the CFPM was
originally developed for HWC slugs, inasmuch as such slugs were predominant in the industry.
Conversely, the NPC modifications (NPC=1), which effect reductions in oil bank velocity of 50%
(Eqs. 1.20 and 1.21), peak oil cut of 30% (Equation 1.24) and rate of 50% (Equation 1.32 with
TRL=2.5) tend to favor the very viscous soluble-oil slugs, and yield very conservative
performance and economics for HWC slugs (see Section 4.2).
and the times (day) of oil breakthrough, peak oil rate and sweepout are, respectively,
TS = TDS*PFPV/QSS, 1.35
and
where Equation 1.35 results from the assumption that the peak oil rate occurs at surfactant
breakthrough.
The oil production, PROS(l), and water production, PRWS(I) in STB/D are, for times T(I)<TOBT
and T(I)>TSW
PROS = 0, 1.37
for TOBTT(I)<TS
with PRWS(I) given again by Equation 1.40. At T(I)=TS, PROS(I)=QOPK. A typical production
curve is illustrated in Figure 1-2.
The volume (MBBL) of surfactant slug injected per pattern is (subroutine CHMINJ)
9
Note that the volume of surfactant slug injected is independent of the surfactant concentration in
the slug, CS (card R7). In the CFPM, CS is used only to estimate the surfactant retention (see
Equation 1.2). The time (year) over which surfactant injection occurs is then
The polymer (mobility buffer) slug, which follows the surfactant slug, is graded (decreased) in
polymer concentration from an initial concentration CPOLY (ppm) until all of the polymer has
been injected. CPOLY is calculated internally as a function of mobility (viscosity) ratio and a
measure of the wettability, RPERM=KORW/KORO. The equation used is (subroutine OPTIM)
where
B = 338.0 if RPERM.LE.0.10,
and
B = 1370.0 if RPERM.GE.10.0.
VISO and VISW are the viscosities (cp) of oil and water, respectively (card R5), and KORW and
KORO are the water and oil relative permeability endpoints, respectively (card R8).
The volume (MBBL) of polymer slug injected per pattern is (subroutine CHMINJ)
and the time (year), beginning in YSLUG, over which polymer injection occurs is
The volume (bbl) and amount (lbs) polymer injected initially are, respectively,
and
where DELT (=0.25 yr) is the time step size, NSLUG=YSLUG/DELT is the number of time steps
during which surfactant slug is injected,
and
is a conversion factor for ppm to lbs. With a linear grading each time step (NSTEP), the
cumulative volume and mass of polymer injected are, respectively,
10
and
where
and NBUFF=YBUFF/DELT. A run continues until NSLUG+NBUFF time steps have been
reached.
Performance for several types of caustic (alkaline) flood processes can be estimated with the
switch ICAUST on card R2. These modifications were added to the CFPM for the NPC survey.
The user is cautioned that these modifications are subjective in that they are not based on any
theoretical treatment of the complex caustic flood mechanisms, but rather are based on limited
field test experience with caustic flooding.
Three types of process may be selected: ICAUST=1 implies caustic injection with no polymer,
ICAUST=2 implies caustic-polymer injection, and for the case of ICAUST=3 (advanced case
alkalis) is ostensibly the surfactant case ICAUST=0. The modifications to the CFPM for the
various caustic flooding options, along with the surfactant-polymer case are shown in Table 1-1.
Results for the various ICAUST options for an example run are presented in Section 4.2. The
caustic switch uses the MP predictive routines, but will use caustic costs in the economic
routines.

1.6 ECONOMIC CALCULATIONS
The CFPM economic calculations are used to convert predicted performance data from the oil
recovery algorithm into a cash flow analysis extending over the life of the project. This analysis
combines forecasts of revenue, costs, expenses, and taxes into an annual balance sheet (Table
4-10). The model also permits an evaluation of the uncertainty of future earnings as a result of
changes in key variables and thus in evaluation of project risk.
1. Project definition (pattern development schedule, wells drilled and converted, etc.). Once
the performance of a single pattern has been determined (Table 4-5), a schedule of the
number of patterns per year to be initiated is used to superpose the pattern rates into an
overall project performance. This procedure implicitly assumes that all patterns in the
project perform identically (i.e., second year: oil and water rates for every pattern are the
same regardless of the respective timing for pattern start). Also superposed are the
capital costs of drilling and equipping wells associated with developing each pattern.
From this schedule, the total multiple pattern project oil, water and gas rates are
calculated as well as the total amount of surfactant injected (Table 4-7). By combining
the well and pattern implementation schedules, a capital investment schedule is obtained
(Table 4-8). A fraction of this capital requirement may be borrowed and repaid over the
life of the project. The fixed and variable operating costs are then calculated based upon
the project performance schedule. These latter costs include such items as maintenance
costs, water treating and disposal costs, etc.
2. Economic data. These include prices, costs, tax rates, discount rate, escalation
(inflation) rates, and capital schedule (Tables 4-6, 4-7, and 4-8).
Estimating Risk
The parameter method (Davidson and Cooper, 1976) is used to compute uncertainty in present
value. This method deals with the parameters of the probability distributions rather than the
distributions themselves and, with reasonable assumptions about distribution form, can estimate
the probability of achieving various levels of present value.
The parameter method requires that the uncertain parameters (data) must be statistically
independent. For this reason, uncertainty in performance of the reservoir Is considered as a
single parameter (UNCO, Card E6, Section 2.2). Other variables, such as costs, revenues and
expenses, should be mutually independent. If dependence between parameters is established,
the parameters should be re-arranged to minimize dependence. In the CFPM, unit prices, costs,
and capital are defined as the uncertain variables (cards E13-E21), in addition to the uncertainty
in oil production. Escalation, inflation and tax rates are treated as certain and constant values
over the life of the project.
The mean and variance of each of the uncertain variables are then estimated. The mean is the
weighted average value of all possibilities found in the probability distribution of a parameter, and
the variance is the weighted average of all squares of differences from the mean. Three values
of a parameter are used to calculate the mean and variance:
1. Low value - a value of the parameter small enough so that only a 10 percent chance
exists of a smaller value;
2. The most-likely value; and
12
3. High value - a value large enough that there is only a 10 percent chance of a higher
value.
Finally, the means and variances are combined into the quantities of interest, such as revenues,
expenses, and costs. Once combined, the assumption of a resulting log-normal distribution is
made. The mean and variance of the present value are known and estimations of present value
at 10% (upside potential), 50%, and 90% (downside risk) probability are computed (Table 4-12).
Profitability Indices
The calculated mean (50 percent) present value is presented in various formats to allow the
direct comparison of costs and benefits. The present value of project revenues, costs and
expenses are also reported to allow for an analysis of the components of project present value.
The final economic results are presented in terms of five measures of profitability (Table 4-12).
1. Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), which represents the present value profit of the project;
2. Payout, which is the time required for present value profit to equal present value
investment;
3. Discounted Cash Flow Rate of Return (DCFROR), which is the discount rate that
reduces the DCF to zero;
4. Profit-to-Investment Ratio (P/I), which is the present value per dollar invested; and
5. Investment Efficiency, the ratio of total DCF to maximum negative DCF.
The strengths and weaknesses of these criteria are discussed in detail by Capen, et al (1976).
DCF is the most widely accepted measure of project performance but it fails to recognize capital
limitations and requires the specification of a discount rate. If DCF is used, a uniform discount
rate should be applied to all cases considered, generally a discount rate based upon the average
cost of capital.
Payout as an economic measure does provide an important measure of project performance.
Since payout does not consider cash flow after the payout period ends, it is a poor ranking
criteria. The advantage of including payout in the analysis allows for the recognition of minimum
operating time required for a project, which can be important to operators seeking short-term
returns when unstable environments make long operating periods unlikely.
DCFROR is a very popular economic criteria, and this measure obviates the need to specify a
discount rate as in DCF. Problems with this criteria may result when comparing projects at
different discount rates, since a project at a lesser DCFROR may have a greater present value at
a company's cost of capital.
The P/I is the ratio of the project's total profit to the total investment required. The P/I recognizes
capital limitations and gives a method of ranking projects in such a way as to maximize the profit
per dollar invested. However, the sensitivity to cash flow timing is lost. A similar measure to the
P/I ratio, the Profit-to-Expense Ratio (P/E), is also computed by the model.
Investment efficiency is defined as the ratio of the maximum cumulative discounted cash flow at
economic life (TE in Figure 1-3) to the maximum cumulative negative discounted cash flow (at
time T in Figure 1-3). Investment efficiency is an excellent ranking method for enhanced oil
recovery projects, which are heavily front-end loaded with high capital and operating expenses.
Investment efficiency was the basis for ranking projects used in the 1984 NPC survey.

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to present a simple, reliable and inexpensive predictive model which
allows the economic assessment of micellar-polymer flooding. An oil recovery algorithm is
developed from theory and the results of numerical simulation. The model contains correlations
which relate factors impacting oil recovery to reservoir and process data: capillary number
(permeability, depth, spacing), heterogeneity (Dykstra-Parsons coefficient), crossflow
(kv/kh),surfactant sorption (clay fraction) and wettability (relative permeability). Oil breakthrough,
peak oil rate and project life are estimated from oil-water fractional flow theory, augmented with
an effective mobility ratio to represent heterogeneity. The model is validated against the results
of numerical simulation and is compared with the results of several field projects.
INTRODUCTION
The chemical flood predictive model (CFPM) is one of a series of models developed for the U.S.
Department of Energy which are designed to identify reservoirs for enhanced oil recovery
processes. In the traditional binary screening approach to EOR,1,2 reservoirs are selected on
the basis of oil saturation, viscosity, permeability, etc. above or below an assigned value. With
the predictive models, however, the idea is to select reservoirs based upon economic criteria with
minimal technical constraints, supported by a physical model in which the technical parameters
are in proper relationship to each other.
The CFPM was developed for sandstone reservoirs, and only two technical constraints were
used - formation temperature and salinity (total dissolved solids). The limits above which
reservoirs were rejected, 230F and 80,000 ppm TDS, respectively, will likely be relaxed with new
technology. For the CFPM, a screen on divalent ions is probably more meaningful, but the data
are less readily available than TDS.
In the first phase of the work, available field and laboratory data were assessed in order to
identify the critical quantities impacting the micellar-polymer process.3 Oil rate and recovery
algorithms were then developed from theory and numerical simulation, and are the subject of this
paper. The full CFPM includes procedures for the estimation of field development costs and
chemical requirements, a DCFROR calculation and other economic criteria. A study of the
effects of reservoir and process variables on the economics of chemical flooding will be the
subject of a future paper.
Numerical simulation was used to validate and to construct correlations for the CFPM. Micellar-
polymer flooding was simulated with a multicomponent, three-phase, three-dimensional, finite
difference simulator.4 The simulations incorporated, among other things, oil-water-surfactant-
salinity dependent equilibrium, three-phase relative permeability, capillary pressure, and
compositional dependent fluid properties and chemical sorption.
In the sections that follow, we estimate the chemical flood target oil (TO), or that portion of the
remaining oil-in-place previously swept by water (Figure 1). The fraction of TO produced during a
chemical flood is defined as the overall recovery efficiency, ER. The recoverable oil is simply ER x
TO. ER is determined as a function of field capillary number and sweep efficiencies for vertical
heterogeneity and the mobility buffer. An oil rate vs. time curve, or production function, is
16
estimated with a fractional flow treatment. The area under the production curve, which is by
definition the recoverable oil, is used to estimate the peak oil rate.

Thus, the estimation of both rate and capillary number depends on Cp . If o = , Cp can be as
high as 0.7 psia/ft if the injectors are injecting at their fracture limit and the producers are
completely pumped off, or as low as 0.27 psia/ft, if the producers have a water head.
Using injection/production data for 16 micellar-polymer field tests,3,7 equation 4 was used to
calculate values for Cp . The values ranged from 0.13 to 3.63 psia/ft, with an average of 0.2
psia/ft. Correspondingly, data are not available. Note that this agrees with the producer water
head limit mentioned above. However, because the oil production function is sensitive to Cp ,
historical waterflood data and practical experience gained from familiarity with given reservoirs
(fractures, condition of wells) should be used to estimate Cp whenever possible.
Oil recovery, being a logarithmic function of Ncap, is not as sensitive to Cp as is rate. More
important to recovery is interfacial tension, which may change by orders of magnitude in situ.
The one millidyne value for interfacial tension was chosen for the Ncap estimation on the grounds
that it
The procedures discussed for 5-spot patterns have also been developed for line-drives.3
it is convenient to express surfactant retention in units of pore volumes of injected surfactant slug
required to satisfy all adsorption. This quantity, denoted by Ds, may be obtained by equating the
total surfactant injected to the total adsorbed:

Ds = , 8
s Cs 1000
where as is the surfactant retention in mg surfactant/g rock, and Cs is the volume fraction
surfactant in the injected slug. The quantity Vps/Ds, where Vps is the pore volumes slug injected,
is the dimensionless slug size. This ratio is subject to optimization; for a rough screen Vps should
be marginally greater than Ds. Usually this turns out to be Vps/Ds = 1.2 - 1.3.

In the following paragraphs, methods are presented for estimating the various efficiencies.

Displacement Efficiency.
ED = (Sorw - Sorc)/Sorw , 10
where Sorc is the oil saturation in zones swept by the micellar slug. Because ED is a microscopic
efficiency, it is independent of sweep and is a function of capillary number via the capillary
desaturation (CD) curve. ED is the breakover coreflood recovery achieved at sufficiently large
Vps/Ds; in this sense ED is similar to oil recovery with CO2 injection at and above minimum
miscibility pressure.
There are three methods by which ED may be obtained for the CFPM:
1. Estimate Ncap from equation 7 and use a CD curve developed for the reservoir rock in
question. However, CD curves are not generally available.
3. Compute Ncap from equation 7 and use CD curves for Berea rock such as the ones
developed by Gupta-Trushenski9 (Figure 3).

EMB, defined as the volume produced oil/volume mobilized oil, would be expected to be a function
of VMB, the pore volumes of polymer injected, as well as Vps/Ds and VDP. Consequently, EMB =

The second limit, which follows from the observation of numerical simulation results, reflects that
for smaller Vps/Ds, hence poorer EV, EMB tends towards unity (for a given VMB) because lesser
amounts of oil are mobilized which require production.
Evaluation of the constants , , and EMBo of equation 12 was performed using the results of two-
dimensional cross-section simulations without crossflow at various VMB, Vps/Ds and VDP. With ED
as determined from the one-dimensional, large Vps/Ds analogs, and EV calculated by a procedure
for finite layers, EMB was determined from

PRODUCTION FUNCTION

According to fractional flow theory, a well-designed micellar-polymer flood will generate a clean
oil bank of constant saturation Sob and fractional flow fob = fo(Sob). This bank will be driven by a
surfactant front having a specific velocity
1
vs = . 15
1 + Ds Sorc
The specific velocity is the actual front velocity divided by the interstitial velocity. Equation 15
presumes no great curvature in the low interfacial tension fractional flow curve, an assumption
22
that is probably accurate enough for the CFPM. The velocity vs can also be expressed in terms
of the oil saturation and fractional flow change at the rear of the oil bank.

vs = = . 16
Sob Sorc 1 Sorc Swb
Equations 15 and 16 give a relationship for the oil bank saturation which must be solved
simultaneously with the water-oil fractional flow curve fw = fw(Sw). The solution follows
graphically11 as the intersection of a straight line passing through the points fw = 0, Sw = -Ds and
fw =1, Sw = 1 - Sorc with the fractional flow curve (Figure 6). Assuming Sorc constant allows an
expression for the specific velocity of the oil bank front.

The oil production function proposed here will be triangular, and based on the velocities in
equations 15 and 17 now modified to account for layering. The triangular shape is selected
because it can be described with only four variables: oil breakthrough time, time of peak oil rate,
peak oil rate, and time of zero rate.

It is reasonable to assume that the peak oil rate will occur at tDs at which point the overall oil cut
will be
fopk = fob . F F =M v s v ob

e
The last term on the right side of equation 25 expresses the flow capacity of the reservoir at a
flow capacity where the surfactant velocity in the highest permeability layer (vsMe) equals the oil
bank velocity (vobF) in a lower permeability layer. For tDob < tD < tDs the oil cut is increasing
linearly because successively more layers begin producing oil. For tD > tDs the oil cut falls linearly
since successively more layers are producing surfactant or polymer. In equations 15 - 25 it is
assumed that there will be no change in surfactant velocity when the polymer front overtakes the
surfactant fronts. This will happen predominantly in the lower permeability layers which will not
contribute much to the initial portion of the production function.
The final point on the triangular production function, the dimensionless time a zero oil rate, tDsw, is
selected so that the total chemical flood oil recovery--the area under the production function--
agrees with that given by equation 9:
0
tDsw = tDob + 2ER Sorw / fopk . 26
The dimensionless production function may be converted to a dimensional function (Figure 7c) of
oil rate (stb/D) vs. time (days) by the following definitions:
q0 = qfo 27
t = tD(Vp/q) 28
where the total fluid injection rate 1 is from equation 4 and Vp is from equation 2.
25
The procedure discussed above gives production functions that are reasonably consistent with
experience. The procedure could be easily modified to calculate a production function for fields
undergoing stagewise development.
RL = (kv/kh)1/2 (L/H). 29
The results are shown in Figure 8. In these simulations kv/kh varied from about 10-7 (RL = 0.025)
to about 0.6 (RL = 40). Examination of the simulation results showed that oil breakthrough (tob)
and sweepout (tsw) times were generally independent of RL. Thus, as an approximation to the
c
crossflow production function with oil recovery ER , the low crossflow recovery is increased by
ER, where
c 0
ER = ER ER = 0.04 log RL + 0.064 30
0 c
for RL > 0. Equation 26 with ER replaced by ER yields the peak oil rate. The crossflow production
function, then, is identical in timing to the no crossflow case, except with a higher peak rate and
area.

With the exception of vertical sweep efficiency, the CFPM performance curves were determined
by the procedures outlined above. For comparison with the two four-layer simulations (Figures 9
and 10), EV for the CFPM was determined by a procedure for finite layers with Me = k max / k .
This finite layer procedure is not the one presented in Appendix A for infinite layers. The latter
procedure is more useful for reservoir screening, since the detailed geologic data required to
define layer properties is usually not available. Even with only four layers, the difference between
the two procedures is small and diminishes with the number of layers simulated (Figure 12).

Figure 10 shows the result of the crossflow correction on CFPM performance. Note the
symmetrical nature of the simulator derived curve in Figure 10, illustrating the reduction in
effective heterogeneity due to crossflow.
For the two-dimensional areal case (VDP = 0), the CFPM with Me = 1.3 was found to reproduce
the simulation shown in Figure 11 as well as a number of simulations in which permeability, depth
and spacing were varied. The value of Me greater than 1.0 in the area case reflects the reduced
recovery caused by areal conformance. In a cross-section, a value of Me greater than 1.0 reflects
the reduced recovery due to vertical conformance.
The CFPM oil recovery and timing agrees favorably with the simulator. A more rigorous test of
the CFPM is a comparison with field results.

16).
For Sloss, the CFPM overestimates oil recovery, perhaps due to productivity problems in the
field. When compared with Big Muddy the CFPM is low on recovery, probably because crossflow
was not considered. For both these tests, oil timing is predicted well within acceptable limits for
economic calculations.

Figure 15 shows that CFPM performance is reasonable close to the performance of one of the
four confined producers at North Burbank (97-06) and another confined producer, not shown.
However, poor response for two of the central producers resulted in the combined four-well curve
shown. In the CFPM calculations, Ds was based on a laboratory measured surfactant retention
of about 2000 lb/acre ft. Post pilot analysis indicated that retention may be as high as 9500
lb/acre ft. at North Burbank. Were this higher retention used, the CFPM performance would be
much closer to the lower curve on Figure 15.

For 219R, the predicted ER (0.31) agrees well with the field estimate of 0.27 - 0.33. Figure 16
shows that the CFPM approximates the magnitude of peak oil rate and project life, but misses on
peak rate location and oil breakthrough. There may be several reasons for this:
2. The simplified fractional flow treatment in the CFPM may be a poor approximation for
viscous, relatively high oil content micellar slugs, for which a more specific procedure is
available.11
3. The symmetrical character of the field curve, with a heterogeneity factor of 0.62, may
reflect the effects of high vertical crossflow.
Considering the assumptions made in the development of the CFPM, and the uncertainty of
much of the data required for its application, the comparative results are good. In addition, the
above comparisons indicate that the CFPM might be used as a history matching or design tool to
precede more costly, fully compositional simulations. Apart from constructing a water-oil
fractional flow curve, the oil rate and recovery algorithms in the CFPM may be executed in a few
minutes with a hand calculator.

CONCLUSIONS
1. A simplified screening model for chemical flooding has been developed which, in
general, yields oil production functions which overlay field test results.
2. Based on comparisons with the field floods presented here and with other field results,
the CFPM tends to be optimistic for oil breakthrough and peak rate. However, this is not
altogether inappropriate for a predictive mode.
31
3 A more rigorous approach is needed to model the effects of vertical crossflow. This
should be done through a reduction in the effective mobility ratio, which would directly
impact vertical conformance and polymer sweep efficiency.

i= 1 i= 1 i=1
n N n
C= i hi / i hi = i hi / H . A-2
i= 1 i=1 i= 1
In these equations ki, hi and i are the permeability, porosity, and thickness of layer i; k and
are the thickness-weighted average permeability and porosity; N the total number of layers; H the
total interval thickness (layers are in parallel); and n the upper index of the partial sums in the
numerators. Equations A-1 and A-2 define F and C as parametric functions of n. Letting n take
on values of 1 to N, and plotting F vs. C at each n gives the flow-storage capacity curve. The
curve passes through F = C = 0 and F = C = 1, consisting of straight line segments, and will have
a discontinuously decreasing slope if the layers are arranged in order of decreasing ki/i. Of
course, layers do not naturally occur this way, but if there is no transverse flow of fluid, the
naturally occurring order is unimportant. It follows from the shape of the F-C curve that the slope
of the nth segment is
dF k n
= . A-3
dC n k
Equation A-3 states that the slope of the F-C curve at any point n is equal to the interstitial
velocity in layer n of a non-crossflowing, unit mobility ratio displacement. In the limit of large N,
equations A-1 and A-2 become integrals and dF/dC in equation A-3 becomes a continuous
function of C.
35
From this point on we consider only permeability heterogeneity to simplify the following
mathematics and conform to prior definitions. This restriction is not severe as permeability
variations are usually several factors of ten larger than porosity variations. The result of this is
that the porosities divide out from equations A-1 - A-3.
If, as would be true if N , the layer thicknesses are all effectively equal, the layer assembly
can be characterized by the Dykstra-Parsons coefficient10 defined as
k k 0 8 41
VDP = A-4
k
where k 0. 841 is the permeability above which 84.1% of the distribution falls. We choose VDP as a
measure of heterogeneity because it is more common in reservoir engineering.
To relate F to C we assume that the permeability assembly is log-normally distributed; hence, the
relationship between cumulative frequency and permeability is 27

( )
ln k / k$
1 erf , A-5

where k$ is the geometric or log-mean of the distribution, and is the variance of the distribution.
The relationship between k$ and k is given by27
k = k$ e / 2 . A-6
Hence, if we identify with the storage capacity C, using equations A-3, A-5 and A-6 we obtain
C=
(
ln e / 2 F'

where F = dF/dC. Equation A-7 may be solved for F and then integrated subject to the
boundary condition F = C = 0,
c
F= exp + 2 erf 1(1 2x) dx . A-8

Equation A-8 must be integrated numerically to give the F-C curve for fixed . The results of
such an integration are shown in figure A-1 where the filled points are the results of the
integration and VDP is used instead of . It follows from equation A-4 and A-5 that
VDP = 1 e
A-9
and, furthermore, that the relationship among Lorenz and Dykstra-Parsons coefficients and is27

Lc = erf = erf . A-10

Note from equation A-10 that Lc and VDP are bounded while is not.
Given the three heterogeneity measures in equation A-10, it must seem off to propose a fourth;
but none of the measures discussed so far directly relate to porous media flow. To ameliorate
this we propose an effective mobility rate Me as a fourth measure of heterogeneity. Me is defined
by
1
1 1 C
F = 1 + , A-11
Me C
where equation A-11 follows from observing the pointed similarity between a homogeneous
media fractional flow curve having straight line relative permeabilities and zero residual phase
saturations, and the points generated on figure A-1. In fact, the solid lines on figure A-1 are
calculated from equation A-11 with Me adjusted to give the best least square fit to the calculated
points. Hence, there is a unique correspondence between VDP and Me which is shown in figure
A-2 as the filled points. It follows from equations A-8 and A-11 that Me as VDP 1 (infinitely
heterogeneous) and Me 1 as VDP 0. In between these limits the relation between VDP and
Me is given by the following empirical fit to the points figure A-2
VDP
log(M e ) = A-12
(1 VDP )0.2
which is also shown on figure A-2.
The Me - VDP relationship could also follow directly from equations A-3 and A-4 as
dF
VDP = 1 . A-13
dC C = 0.841
Equation A-13 leads to a quadratic polynomial in Me whose solution relates only two points on the
F-C curve whereas equation A-12 is a fit involving several points. It should be noted that the
figure A-2 curve is an expanded version of the curve presented by Koval28 which is also shown.
Using Me and equation A-11 is an improvement over equation A-8 and VDP because the interstitial
fluid velocity in any layer is given by
2
v F k
v = v F = =v A-14
Me C k
from equations A-3 and A-11 (we have reintroduced the porosity heterogeneity). The velocity of
the highest permeability layer is, therefore, v = v Me, that of the lowest permeability layer is v =
v/Me.
In estimating EV we present here a brief summary of earlier work5 using the heterogeneity model
of the previous section.
It is assumed that
37
1. The movable oil saturation So = Sorw - Sorc and the frontal advance lag Ds (surfactant
adsorption in pore volumes) are uniform;
3. the mobility ratio of all fronts is unity and there is no crossflow; and,
4. the oil saturation is reduced to Sorc everywhere there has been surfactant present.
Corresponding to these assumptions, the mobilized oil fraction is So/Sorw in any layer receiving a
slug size greater than Ds, and somewhat smaller if its slug size is less than Ds. If DS is the overall
slug size injected into the layered reservoir, the slug size into any layer if FVps. Now the
surfactant front travels with relative velocity F/(1 + Ds) and the mobility buffer with velocity F. At
some dimensionless position XD the mobility buffer front will overtake the surfactant front.
F
XD = QD = FQD FVps . A-15
1 + Ds
XD = 1 + Ds - FVps . A-16
Now there will always be a layer m where the mobility buffer front will overtake the surfactant
front exactly at the production well (XD = 1)
Vps 1

Equation A-17 says that the Vps/Ds ratio will be equal to the reciprocal slope of the F-C curve at a
point M which separates the reservoir into layers whose mobilized oil fraction is So/Sorw, F

overall mobilized oil fraction is

DEFAULT EQUATIONS
Oil Viscosity
Oil viscosity, VISO (card R5) is defaulted according to API gravity and RS (see. discussion below
for RS default) using the correlation of Beggs and Robinson (1975). The model first calculates
the dead oil viscosity, VISD (cp)
where
X = Y/TEMP**1.163,
Y = 10.0**Z,
Z = 3.0324-0.02023*API,
and TEMP is the reservoir temperature, F (card R3). Then the live oil viscosity is
where
A = 10.715/(GOR+100.0)**0.515
and
B = 5.44/(GOR+150.0)**0.338.
Solution gas-oil ratio, RS (card R4), is defaulted by API gravity (Vasquez and Beggs, 1980).
These correlations appear to give low values for heavy crude oils. The model first corrects the
gas gravity, SGG, as input or defaulted on card R5 to a 100 psig separator condition, assuming
the separator is at TEMP:
RS = 0.0362*SGG*(PFORM**1.0937)*EXP(25.724*(API/(TEMP+460.))), 3.4
RS = 0.0178*SGG*(PFORM**1.187)*EXP(23.931*(API/(TEMP+460.))). 3.5
51
Oil Formation Volume Factor
Oil formation volume factor, BOI (card R5), is defaulted according to API gravity (Vasquez and
Beggs, 1980).
C1 = 4.677E-4
C2 = 1.751E-5
C3 = -1.811E-8
C1 = 4.67E-4
C2 = 1.1E-5
C3 = 1.337E-9.
Well tangible (WCT) and intangible (WCI) capital costs are calculated as follows: The total well
capital is
CAP = (CINJ*WPP1)+(CINJ+CEQP)*WPP2 +
CSEC*WPP3+CNVT*WPP4+CREP, 3.7
where the WPP's are read on card E4 (Section 2.2) and the CINJ, etc. are defined below. Per
pattern
and
The total project intangible capital is obtained by summinq the WCI over the number of patterns.
A similar calculation is performed for the total project tangible capital, CTCM(I), except that the
capital for water injection (CWAT) and chemical handling (CCHM) plants are included in year one
of the project
The well capital and operating costs defaults given below were taken from correlations from the
DOE/EIA-0185(82) report, "Costs and Indexes for Domestic Oil and Gas Field Equipment and
Production Operations, 1982. These defaults should be used with caution, however, as they
were developed in an era when oil prices were $35.00/bbl and increasing. By 1986, oil prices
and drilling costs had dropped by 50% (or more) from the 1981-1982 period. In the model, an
attempt was made to account for some of this drop in costs by using cost adjustment factors (see
discussion prior to card E13).
52
Drilling and Completion Costs
These costs (CINJ) include the cost of drilling and completing through the wellhead, including
tubing, and are used to represent the cost of new injection wells. New producing wells have
additional equipment costs which are discussed below. CINJ is defaulted according to depth and
region of the U.S. (Figure 3-1). In $/ well,
TABLE 3-1
COEFFICIENTS FOR DRILLING AND COMPLETION COSTS (EQ. 3.11)
These costs (CEQP) consist of all costs to equip a new producing well for secondary recovery,
excluding costs for tubing. CEQP is defaulted according to depth and region of the U.S. (Figure

Costs of Additional Secondary Production Equipment for a Primary Well Converted to a
Secondary Well
For these costs (CSEC), it is assumed that the existing processing and lease facilities are not
replaced, old producing well equipment is replaced, and that costs for drilling and equipping
water supply wells are included. CSEC is defaulted according to depth and region of the U.S.
(Figure 3-2). In $/ well,

COEFFICIENTS FOR COSTS OF ADDITIONAL SECONDARY PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT (EQ. 3.13)

CREP = 0.0,
CDAO = $169,000/well/yr.
and
CIWO = 40200*RATE+8080*RATE*PGM(1).
CIWO is the additional operating cost for offshore water injection, and if ISTATE=52, is used to
default fixed annual operating costs (card E17).
The read-in (or defaulted) oil price (card E13) is penalized for API gravities less than 40
according to location. Figure 3-3 shows the multiplicative price reduction factors as a function of
gravity for California (ISTATE=4) and for all other states. The latter curve in Figure 3-3 is based
on mid-continent posted prices (NPC, 1984).
For projects in Alaska (ISTATE=50) oil is priced in accordance with the solid curve of Figure 3-3
less another $9.00/bbl for transportation fees. These fees are associated with amortized capital,
port of entry charges, and fixed tariffs and do not vary with oil price.
If ISTATE=53, then the API gravity penalty is disabled and the price reduction factor is 1.0
regardless of the value of API input. This feature was added to the model for projects outside the
U.S., where different oil pricing scenarios may apply.
The Windfall Profit Tax (WPT) effected by statute in 1980 is an excise tax on U.S. crude oil
production. The WPT is applied as a percentage of the difference between the sales price of oil
(POM(I) adjusted for API gravity and location) and a base price (BPOW or BPO(I), card E8) that
escalates with time. The base price varies with crude oil production method and field history.
The WPT tax rate (XWPT, card E8) also varies with production method and type of producer
(major or independent). XWPT for heavy oil and/or incremental tertiary oil is 30% for majors, and
0% up to 1,000 bpd (30% over 1,000 bpd) for independents (see Table 3-7). Definitions of Tier 1
and Tier 2 oil in Table 3-7. are quite complex, and may be found in "The Crude Oil Windfall Profit
Tax," Price-Waterhouse, 1980.
56
In the CFPM, the WPT is calculated from
where
That oil which would be produced without implementation of an EOR process is subject to a WPT
tax rate of 70%. Part of the incremental tertiary oil must therefore be "released" from the higher
tax rate. In the CFPM, this released oil is calculated using the secondary oil decline curve data
input on cards E10-11.

SECTION 4
CFPM EXAMPLE RUNS
A brief discussion of I/O for an example run (identical to the base case for the sensitivity runs
discussed in Section 4.2) is given here. The data used (Tables 4-1, 4-2 and 4-3) are similar to
data from the North Burbank micellar-polymer pilot flood conducted by Philips Petroleum Co.
(Boneau and Clampitt, 1977; Trantham et al, 1978). Here, the pattern size is 20 acres, and a
pattern schedule of 50 patterns/year for 17 years and four patterns in year 18 was specified in
accordance with the number of patterns calculated (854) from the total developed area (Table 4-
4).
A summary of the oil recovery calculations is also shown in Table 4-4. The overall recovery
efficiency, ER, is 18%. The times for oil breakthrough, peak oil rate, and pattern life shown in
Table 4-4 were used to plot the pattern production curve, Figure 4-1 (solid line). The detailed
pattern production rates and cumulatives are shown in Table 4-5.
The economic data input are shown in Table 4-6. Note that all tax and escalation rates have
been set to zero. Table 4-7 shows that the read-in oil price of $28.00/bbl has been reduced by
the model to $27.83/bbl by the factor 0.994 for 39 API oil (Figure 3-3 curve for "other states," in
this case Oklahoma). Other prices and costs have been lowered by the appropriate factors, as
shown in the discussion preceding card E13, Section 2.2. For example, the defaulted surfactant
slug price of $7.00/bbl is reduced to (7.00)*(1.0+0.6209*(-0.0666)) = $6.71/bbl. The annual
volumes for one pattern and for the total project of 854 patterns are also shown in Table 4-7.
The project capital schedule is shown in Table 4-8. The capital for a chemical handling plant of
3,384M$ is obtained from the formula (card E5, Section 2.2) CCHM=0.5*1000.0*24.2**O.6,
where 24.2 Mbbl/d is the maximum rate of surfactant slug injection over the project life obtained
from the chemical plant capacity of 8.84 MMbbl/yr (8.84*1000.0/365.0=24.2). Note that although
the required capacity of the water injection plant is five times larger than the chemical plant
capacity, no capital for a water injection plant was specified. This is because a water injection
plant would likely be in-place prior to the initiation of a tertiary chemical flood. Thus, the default
value for the water injection plant capital was left as zero.
WCT = 0.28*(66212*0.8)
= $14,832
as shown in the second column from the left in Table 4-8. WCT is next adjusted by the ratio
FDC/FEQP, where (card E13)
FDC/FEQP=(1.0+(0.4*FACT))/(1.0+(0.3*FACT)).
Since the nominal oil price is $28.00/bbl, FACT=-0.0066, and FDC/FEQP=0.9932. Then
WCT=14832*0.9932=$14,731. For each year 50 patterns are initiated, the project well tangible
capital is
CTCM(1) = 14731*50/1000
= 737M$
59
as shown in the second column from the right for years 2-17 in Table 4-8. The chemical plant
capital, taken as tangible, is added in year one, so for this year
CTCM(1) = 3384+737
= 4,121M$.
For the intangible well capital, from Equation 3.7 CAP=$252,757 and from Equation 3.9, per
pattern
WCI = 252757-14832
= $237,925
which after multiplying by FDC/FEQP becomes $236,307. For each of the first 17 years, the
project intangible capital is
CICM(I) = 236307*50/1000
= 11,815M$
The annual undiscounted cash flow roll-up is shown in Table 4-10. After discounting (Table 4-
11), the project summary is reported in Table 4-12. The cost of purchasing chemicals is about
five times the capital requirements, and chemical costs represent about 70% of the total project
expenses. The 23 year project returns only 21.8% with a $27.93 oil price and no taxes. The risk
calculation shows that there is a 90% chance that the project will lose 33MM$.
Sensitivity runs were conducted for a number of variables used in the CFPM. The base case
was that discussed in Section 4.1 for $28.00/bbl oil. Plots which depict the recovery efficiency,
oil-surfactant ratio in BO recovered/bbl surfactant slug injected, and profit-to-investment ratio
(and/or discounted cash flow rate-of-return) which resulted from changes in each of the variables,
are given in Figures 4-6 through 4-11. Some minor non-uniformities in the plots are attributable
to economic cut-offs at the end of a year preceding a loss position, because no account is taken
of production up to the precise time within the loss year at which conditions become uneconomic.
Comparison of Original CFPM with NPC Modified CFPM for Base Case-Oil Price
The base case (NPC=0 on card R2) was rerun with NPC=1 and the results are shown in Figure
4-1. The model as modified by NPC, when compared to the base case, shows later oil
breakthrough, and both a dramatic drop in peak oil rate and increase in pattern life.
Both models were run with varying oil prices. Nominal oil prices from $8.00/bbl to $40.00/bbl
were studied. The nominal oil prices were reduced by the API gravity factor of 0.994 (Figure 3-
3), and surfactant and polymer prices were reduced by the appropriate factors. The actual oil
sales prices, surfactant, and polymer prices corresponding to the nominal oil prices input as the
POM(1) on card E13 were:
60
Nom. Oil Price, Oil Sales Price, Surf. Price, Poly. Price,
$/bbl $/bbl $/bbl $/lb
The results of the runs (Figure 4-2) show that the original model loses money at oil prices below
$24.00/bbl. A loss position is represented by a discounted cash flow rate-of-return of 10% or less
(since the discount rate was 10%), or by a profit-to-investment ratio of zero or less. Acceptable
rates-of-return begin to occur at about $25.00/bbl oil, thus a price of $28.00/bbl was used in all
subsequent sensitivity runs in order to avoid mostly negative economics on the plots.
For the NPC model, Figure 4-2 shows negative profitability up to $40.00/bbl. Subsequent runs
(not shown) with oil prices up. to $72.00/bbl failed to show profitability for the NPC model. The
results shown on Figure 4-2 are optimistic for both models, because there are no taxes and the
surfactant slug prices are probably too low as shown in the above table.
Comparison of Original CFPM with NPC Modified CFPM for Field Floods
The results of two well documented micellar-polymer field floods, one a high-water-content
(HWC) slug, the second a soluble oil (SO) slug, were compared with both the original and NPC
models.
Exxon's Louden, 0.68 acre, pilot flood was the HWC case (Bragg et al, 1982). The data input are
shown in Table 4-13. The results of both models are compared to the observed results in Figure
4-3. As expected, the original model, which was developed for HWC slugs, approximates oil
breakthrough and pattern life better than the more conservative NPC model. Were the results in
Figure 4-3 plotted on an oil rate vs. time basis, rather than on an oil cut vs. time basis, the
disparity between the two models would be even greater. This is because the pattern rate
calculated by the original model is 60 bbl/d, compared to the observed rate of 56 bbl/d, whereas
the rate calculated by the NPC model is only 30 bbl/d.
Marathon's 219R project (Howell et al, 1979) was used as a basis for comparison for SO slug
processes. The data used are shown in Table 4-14, and the results plotted in Figure 4-4.
Clearly, the original model is optimistic for this 35 cp slug. Surprisingly, the NPC modified CFPM
yields early oil bank movement and underestimates peak rate. Overall, the NPC model tends to
represent SO slugs better than the original algorithm. However, for the more common HWC
slugs the original model is recommended.
Caustic Options
The base case (NPC = 0, ICAUST=0, solid lines Figures 4-1 and 4-5) was rerun with ICAUST
(card R2) = 1, 2 and 3. The results are shown in Figure 4-5. That the efficiencies of the caustic
(ICAUST=1) and caustic-polymer (ICAUST=2) processes are 15% and 40%, respectively, of the
surfactant-polymer base case (ICAUST=0) can be clearly seen from Figure 4-5. The ICAUST=3
61
case has a shorter pattern life because the slug size is 40% of the ICAUST=0 slug size (Table 1-
1). Note the similarity of the ICAUST=2 case (caustic-polymer) in Figure 4-5 and the NPC
modified surfactant-polymer case in Figure 4-1 (dashed line).
The base case for these and all subsequent runs was for NPC =0, ICAUST=0 and $28.00/bbl oil.
The surfactant slug size was varied from 0.02 to 0.25 pv by adjusting the parameter VPSDS on
card R7. As shown in Figure 4-6, the recovery efficiency increased and the oil-surfactant ratio
decreased throughout the range of slug sizes studied. The profit-to-investment ratio, however,
shows a clear maximum at about 0.06 pv, showing that the model may be used to select the
economic optimum slug size. Beyond this optimum, the increased oil recovery does not
compensate for increased slug costs and profitability diminishes.
The pore volumes of polymer injected (VPMB, card R9) was varied from zero to 2.0 in these
runs. In contrast to the results for surfactant slugs, there was no economic optimum polymer slug
size found (Figure 4-7). The increased recovery efficiency with larger polymer slug sizes offsets
the increased slug cost, because of the low cost of polymer. A polymer slug of at least 0.4 pv is
required to achieve acceptable profitability.
Reservoir Heterogeneity
Reservoir heterogeneity was analyzed by varying the Dykstra-Parsons coefficient, VDP (card R6)
from zero (homogeneous) to 0.9. As expected (Figure 4-8), recovery efficiency, oil-surfactant
ratio and profitability are all strongly inversely proportional to VDP. High VDP's result in poor
vertical sweep efficiency and poor performance.
Permeability
Permeability was varied from 10 to 2,000 md. In the CFPM, rate is directly proportional to
permeability. Figure 4-9 shows that the recovery efficiency does not increase much at
permeabilities greater than 500-1,000 md. This is because the relationship between capillary
number, which is directly proportional to permeability, and displacement efficiency is logarithmic.
Figure 4-9 also shows that the P/I ratio decreases beyond 500 md, because the increased capital
requirements for injection plants at the higher rates are not offset by increased oil recovery, which
is minimal beyond 500 md. The further drop-off in P/I ratio beyond 1,000 md is mostly an artifact,
since patterns were not brought onstream fast enough to accommodate the very high rates of
slug injection. This resulted in a wasting of slug, and even though the recovery efficiency
remained high, the amount of oil actually produced decreased at permeabilities above 1,000 md.
Depth
Reservoir depth was varied from 500 to 10,000 feet. Recovery efficiency increased with depth
(Figure 4-10), but not as rapidly as with permeability, since rate is a function of depth but capillary
number is not.
The optimum depth varies according to the measure of profitability used. Figure 4-10 shows that
this optimum is 4,000 or 6,000 feet, when measured either against P/I ratio or rate-of-return,
62
respectively. In either case, at depths below the optimum, lower oil recovery does not offset
lower drilling costs; above the optimum, drilling costs increase more rapidly than oil recovery.
The location for the optimum depth will of course change with the pattern size and scheduling.
Pattern Area
Pattern area was varied from one to 80 acres, with the number patterns varied in order to yield
the same total developed area of approximately 17,000 acres. For example, for the one-acre
case, 1,000 patterns were initiated each year during years one through 17.
The recovery efficiency (Figure 4-11) decreases with pattern area, as capillary number is
inversely proportional to area. The P/I ratio shows a rather broad maximum between 10 and 20
acres, whereas the rate-of-return shows a sharp optimum at 10 acres. In either case, at pattern
areas below the optimum, the capital requirements for drilling at the rate of 1.6 wells/pattern are
excessive for such a large number of patterns. Conversely, at areas larger than optimum, drilling
costs decrease, but this is more than offset by decreased recovery efficiencies and longer times
until tertiary oil breakthrough, hence delayed cash flow.
