The field in the above graph
was under a CO2 flood and
the project was not meeting
expectations. With the addition of
CESI's CnF® foam conformance
modifier product, the Operator
deemed the project a success after
90 days with an incremental
increase of approximately 14,000
barrels of oil at a relative value
of less than $0.60 per barrel...
and this increase continued
through 150 days.
