Summary:Thermal enhanced oil recovery process has been studied, implemented and improved over the years. In the late 90’s there has been significant interest in the light oil air injection (LOAI) process, since the successful implementation of the process known as High Pressure Air Injection in the Buffalo Field (USA), which is a variation from the air injection in light oil reservoirs, applicable to deep reservoirs with low permeability and porosity. Proof of this are the West Hackberry Field (USA), more than five commercial projects along the Williston Basin (USA) and a pilot in the Zhongyuan Field (China). Additionally, feasibility studies have been also been performed in Mexico and Argentina. This paper shows an implementation case of a methodology proposed previously for prioritization of light oil reservoir candidates to air injection.
