- W1995440441 abstract "Introduction The Lake Centralia-Salem Oil field, Marion County, Ill. was formally unitized September 1, 1930 for simultaneous water flooding of five pay horizons. The engineering and operational aspects of the formation of the Salem Unit have been discussed by Love. Geology of the field has been presented by Arnold. The unitized field embraces an area of 8,800 acres approximately 6 1/2 miles in length and 2 1/2 miles in width. The field has produced 222,000,000 bbl of oil while some 15,000,000 bbl remain to be produced by primary methods. It is estimated that the ultimate secondary oil recovery will be approximately 85 per cent of that recovered under primary production. The magnitude of this project may be appreciated when it is realized that accumulated injected water will be of the order or 1,680,000,000 bbl during a 20 year flood life. At peak conditions the total injection requirements may reach 350,000 B/D. The proper selection of surface facilities for a project of this size presents a multitude of complex problems. Careful consideration must be given to the economic aspects of each phase, not only in equipment and construction, but also from the standpoint of operational costs. It is the purpose of this paper to present a discussion of the equipment and facilities that have been installed in the Salem Unit to accommodate the secondary recovery operations. Figure 1 shows a diagrammatic flow plan of flooding facilities. Water Supply The field was producing approximately 8,000 B/D of salt water at the time of unitization. It was estimated that a maximum water injection requirement of nearly 350,000 B/D would be reached during life of the flood for all formations. Considering time for flood development, field water production, etc., it was further estimated that make up water of approximately 185,000 B/D would be needed to meet this requirement. Extensive investigations were conducted in the immediate and surrounding areas of the Salem Pool to determine the most satisfactory source of water. From these investigations it was concluded that the most economical source of water would be from fresh water gravel terrace deposits along the Kaskaskia River approximately 17 miles northwest of the field. In these investigations, consideration was also given to the possibility of developing a salt water supply from aquifers of 1,000 ft to 1,500 ft depth in field area, but the economics of such a source were not favorable because of the large anticipated volume requirements. It was estimated that development and operating costs of the fresh water source to produce 185,000 B/D would be about 60 per cent less then that of the salt water source." @default.
