"We have to use technology to understand and produce our reservoirs effectively - in doing so, we can extend the life of our resources, improve our economic base and manage our resources in an environmentally responsible way," Tom Davis RCP co-director

The Colorado School of Mines Reservoir Characterization Project (RCP) is an independently sponsored research consortium whose mission is to develop and apply 4-D, multi-component seismology and associated technologies to effectively model complex reservoirs.

We have established a leading-edge interdisciplinary research and teaching program which fosters industry and university interaction and provides cost effective, collaborative research. The research benefits consortium members, and trains and graduates students for employment in the oil and gas industry.

Phase XIII : Delhi Field, Louisiana

Proposal and Contract

Previous Phase -

POSTLE FIELD:

The newest research project began in late 2007 with Phase XII, a study to develop high resolution dynamic reservoir characterization (DRC) of flow units and their connectivity within a valley fill environment in Postle Field, Texas County, Oklahoma. The purpose is to conduct dynamic reservoir characterization of the field, a Morrow reservoir under CO2 flood, to enhance reservoir management options through proactive recognition of aerial and vertical flood conformance needs. read more

"RCP has provided me the opportunity to work with an integrated team of geologists, engineers, and geophysicists solving real industry challenges."
