Description

What to do with an old giant oil field which has been produced for almost 80 years?  Put CO2 in it of course.  The Yates field, discovered in 1926, is an uplifted and fractured San Andres carbonate 1,500 to 1,800 ft. below surface.  The original oil in place is estimated at 5 billion bbl.  The field was utilized in 1976 to manage reservoir pressure and control water influx from the aquifer.
