Background

The Salt Creek Field is located in the Permian Basin of West Texas (Kent County, Texas). With 700 million barrels of OOIP, it is one of the major oil fields located on the northeast end of the Horseshoe Atoli oil play.

The field produces from a Pennsylvanian-age Canyon Reef carbonate at a depth of 6,300 feet.

The 12,100-acre field contains two limestone build-ups, not in pressure communication.

Oil production at Salt Creek began in 1950. A centerline waterflood was started in 1953.

Tertiary oil recovery (C0₂ WAG) began in 1993 in the main pay zonę (MPZ) and later expanded to the residual oil zonę (ROZ) in 2000.
