Abstract
The Hay River Pool has been developed with water-flooding through horizontal wells, but the reservoir appears suitable for near-miscible CO2-hydrocarbon injection. Our objective is to find the optimal CO2-hydrocarbon mixture, and determine the feasibility of the near-miscible flooding technique on the Hay River Pool. Since water-flooding facilities are already in place, a combination of near-miscible flooding and water-flooding has also been investigated.
