This Montney gas flood will melt your heart into a happy puddle

You know about multifracked horizontal wells drilled in the Montney. But can tight Montney pools be effectively supported with gas injection? Many doubt. But if it works, a whole new opportunity is on the horizon.

One operator is testing gas injection to support a tight oil pool in the Montney. This horizontal to horizontal well flood may be just the ticket for improving oil recovery from the tight Triassic member. How will this affect rich gas production in the Duvernay and in the Cretaceous?

Flooding the tight Montney

Many operators are exploiting the Montney with horizontal multi-fracked wells. But this company also believes he can support the pressure and production rate by gas injection.

Not everyone is in favor of multifrack horizontal injection wells. Some feel that the water injection paths are unpredictable. But this operator believes they will suit his purpose.

Leading edge or Quick copy?

Rather than take the plunge and try to be on the leading edge, it's best to read the applications of others who are. If they're experiment works, you can quickly copy it. If they fail, you've saved yourself some headaches.

Flooding extremely tight rock: under-rated or over-rated?

Real flooding is far more advanced and complicated than you learned in the text books. And the homogeneous bounded circular reservoir is very different from a tight formation.

These types of floods are described more by their edge traits, not their average matrix. Their success is defined by their heterogeneity, not their homogeneity.
