A report is presented covering the activities undertaken by Gary Operating Company, as well as by the major subcontractors, Atlantic Richfield, Union, and Intercomp. The major activity at this time is Phase II, Task 1, the Micellar-Polymer Systems selection from the two competing designs being developed by Atlantic Richfield and Union Oil. This activity comes to closure with Decision Point 2 in August.

A Pilot Demonstration is being conducted to determine whether micellar-polymer flooding is an economically feasible technique for enhanced oil recovery from the Muddy Sand Unit ''A'' Reservoir of the Bell Creek Field, Powder River and Carter Counties, Montana. During the first year of this project extensive reservoir studies, site and pattern selection, design and selection of an optimal micellar-polymer system, water flood history matching and preliminary process simulations by numerical models, and development of pilot injection and production wells were completed. The major effort during the first contract year was the design for the Bell Creek pilot of two optimal micellar-polymer processes--one oil-external and one water-external; and the concomitant development of a Selection Methodology by which to decide upon the more suitable process by means of a standard set of laboratory experiments and numerical simulations. This effort was completed. The oil-external design was selected for Bell Creek application based upon its superior performance in the standard test series and simulations. The advantages of the Bell Creek oil-external design appear to be better recovery performance, mobility control, and protection against divalent ions. 30 tables, 41 figs.

Purpose of this field test is to demonstrate an improved oil recovery process which will displace economic quantities of otherwise nonrecoverable viscous oil from this reservoir, as well as to determine its suitability for application to other sites. All tasks in Phase A, with the exception of Task No. 5, have been finished. Phase A encompassed the preliminary systems design laboratory work and pattern optimization leading to Decision Point No. 1. Because Task No. 5, sulfonation of a Wilmington crude feedstock, was an integral part of the subjects to be resolved under Phase A, Decision Point No. 1 must be delayed several months. Marathon was unable to schedule sulfonation of Wilmington feedstocks; they are now conducting bench sulfonation of Wilmington feedstocks and have called upon Witco and Stepan to prepare Wilmington sulfonates in their respective pilot plants. Additional laboratory work will be required under Phase B for Tasks No. 1, 2 and 3. Although flood tests and polymer absorption-degradation tests were performed on core material from the Upper Terminal sand, this material was decidedly not fresh.
