The
Permian Basin of west Texas and southeast New Mexico remains a significant
oil-producing province and contains an estimated 30 Bbbl of remaining
mobile oil. Increased use of enhanced-recovery practices in the Permian
Basin can have a substantial impact on U.S. oil production. Several
Bureau projects are focused on reservoir characterization and play
analysis of the Permian Basin. |
