The USGS assessment methodology may require reservoir-level data for the purposes of screening conventional oil reservoirs and projecting CO2-EOR performance in terms of the incremental recoverable oil. The information used in this report is based on reservoir properties from the \u201cSignificant Oil and Gas Fields of the United States Database\u201d prepared by Nehring Associates, Inc. (2012). As described by Nehring Associates, Inc., the database \u201ccovers all producing provinces (basins) in the United States except the Appalachian Basin and the Cincinnati Arch.\u201d\nUnder contract to the USGS, INTEK, Inc., developed and applied algorithms to estimate variables useful in projecting EOR performance at the reservoir level and to complete some partial reservoir records of the \u201cSignificant Oil and Gas Fields of the United States Database\u201d (Nehring Associates, Inc., 2012). The augmented database is referred to here as the \u201cComprehensive Resource Database\u201d (CRD).\nThe CRD play and province classification scheme corresponds to the definitions used in the 1995 USGS National Oil and Gas Assessment (NOGA). The profiles in this report consist of a resource table and a six-part figure showing the variation of reservoir parameters selected because of their importance in the choice of a miscible or immiscible method for CO2-EOR and in the assessment of potential oil recovery using the EOR processes. A subset of these reservoirs may be available for either miscible- or immiscible-type flooding for CO2-EOR. Plays with fewer than 10 oil reservoirs were not graphed and were omitted from the province profiles. For this report and for the purposes of screening reservoirs as candidates for the application of CO2-EOR methods, oil reservoirs must have no more than 10,000 standard cubic feet of natural gas per barrel of oil at surface conditions. Oil-bearing plays presented in this report must contain at least one oil reservoir so defined.\nThe profile plots allow geologists to evaluate the range of empirical and default values of the oil reservoir characteristics within a play and across plays that belong to the same province in the CRD. For most plays, the default estimates can be identified by the stacking of points at a single value on strip charts in the profiles. Reasonable default values should be within the range of the reservoir parameter values assigned by Nehring Associates, Inc. (2012), to reservoirs of that particular play.\nEach province profile figure consists of five strip charts and a boxplot. The five strip charts display for individual plays the following reservoir-fluid and reservoir properties: A, oil density (American Petroleum Institute [API] gravity in degrees); B, computed pseudo-Dykstra-Parsons coefficient; C, reservoir porosity (in percent); D, reservoir permeability (in millidarcies); and E, estimates of the original oil in place (OOIP) per unit volume of reservoir rock (in barrels per acre-foot). The OOIP per unit volume of reservoir rock is an indicator of the relative richness of the oil reservoir and is derived from estimates in the CRD of OOIP, reservoir acreage, and net pay. The net pay is the interval of productive reservoir rock. The same data for OOIP per unit volume are graphed as a strip chart (E) and a boxplot (F).", "description": "v, 68 p.", "publisher": {"@type": "Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "author": [{"@type": "Person", "name": "Freeman, Philip A. pfreeman@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Philip A.", "familyName": "Freeman", "email": "pfreeman@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-0863-7431", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0863-7431"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Energy Resources Program", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/programs/energy-resources-program"}]}, {"@type": "Person", "name": "Attanasi, Emil D. attanasi@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Emil D.", "familyName": "Attanasi", "email": "attanasi@usgs.gov", "identifier": {"@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0001-6845-7160", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6845-7160"}, "affiliation": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Eastern Energy Resources Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/geology-energy-and-minerals-science-center"}]}], "funder": [{"@type": "Organization", "name": "Eastern Energy Resources Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/geology-energy-and-minerals-science-center"}], "spatialCoverage": [{"@type": "Place", "additionalType": "country", "name": "United States", "url": "https://geonames.org/6252001"}]}
