Experience and Capabilities

Laboratory

• Black and yellow wax characterization, composition
• Wax remediation and transportation
• Bubble and dew points of oils
• Emission factors

Modeling and Simulation

• Designed the first waterflood in the Monument Butte Area
• Helped optimize water injection to manage water cuts
• Horizintal well placement, hydraulic fracture design and modeling production

Planned Initiative

• Address questions related to optimum production of waxy oil (black and yellow) from long, fractured, horizontal wells.
• Create solutions for improving oil production through enhanced oil recovery – by carbon dioxide injection or otherwise.
• Assess/create solutions for transporting waxy oil.
• Examine energy efficiency options to reduce fuel use, emissions and save costs.
• Quantify emission factors and help provide local laboratory facilities to measure oil and gas compositions.
• Respond to industry needs on helping to recover best value from the Basin.
