one of Connacher’s two Great Divide projects. The oil zone under Pad 104 has some of the thickest pay in Pod One. A gas cap overlying the pad is being repressured. Connacher plans to put the new wells on gas lift and install electric submersible
oil-water contact. Reservoir fluid data from the 48/24-10z well indicate that there is unlikely to be any primary gas cap present at the crest of the structure in the Basal Wealden sands. The lowest closing contour for the Barryroe structure
for years. In what it termed a “unique year,” Statoil also discovered Skrugard, a substantial oil discovery with a gas cap , in the Barents Sea as a “potential door-opener” for a new oil province. Statoil spudded an exploratory well
of CO 2 up dip (production well down dip) or into the gas cap will maintain reservoir pressure and increase recovery by gas - cap drive. In addition the diffusion of CO 2 into heavy oil will
announced plans for their commercial development, in which case the gas likely will be flared or reinjected. Available gas cap and or associated gas could also fuel a small power plant or find local domestic or industrial uses. CNPC started its
heavy oil discoveries, while the Dohuk PSC contains the Summail, currently considered to be a heavy oil discovery with a gas cap (Figs. 7 and 8). Large-scale production of heavy oil will call for more technology and more competence and capacity
estimated 10.12 million bbl of challenging, biodegraded, 23° gravity oil with 3.95 cp viscosity in place under a small gas cap at 700 m in a low pressure, low permeability reservoir. The consultant, DU-EL Drilling Services Pty. Ltd., Perth

The CMD process at Pleito Creek field uses a top-down, oxygen-gas combustion drive to generate a steam and rich CO 2 gas cap to gravity drain heavy oil at near miscible conditions (Fig. 3). This in situ combustion process differs from conventional
celebrations were muted because the wells penetrated the giant gas cap weeks before hitting oil (OGJ, Jan. 22, 1968, p. 40 ..... 450,000-600,000 b/d of water injected into the gas cap supports at least 10,000 b/d of current oil production
