GAS STORAGE ENHANCES OIL PRODUCTION

Rikke Weibel

Abstract

This paper reports that converting the 20 year old Honor Rancho oil field to gas storage has given new life to oil production operations. The facilities and the reservoir maintenance technique needed for the gas storage operation have been combined to enhance oil production. Gas storage in Southern California began in 1941. Gas storage in depleted Southern California oil fields began in 1942. That first venture into an oil field was at the Playa del Rey field near Los Angeles International Airport.
