HOUSTON, Dec. 16 – A unit of Miller Petroleum Inc., Huntsville, Tenn., has reworked a well in the West McArthur River Unit in Alaska’s Cook Inlet with tubing configured to produce oil and to be converted for water injection without further intervention.
Workover of the WMRU-2A well, shut in since Dec. 24, 2001, involved the rigless coiled tubing method and resulted in a test rate of 37 b/d of oil. The well has produced nearly 1,000 bbl of oil, helping to offset the $500,000 workover cost.
The well provides back-up to Miller’s existing injection well and positions the company to implement a waterflood program.
