Abstract

Olive Field is oil productive from a thin stratigraphically-trapped sandstone within the Lower Tuscaloosa Formation in southwestern Mississippi. The field’ s discovery was based on the interpretation that a mappable “soft” seismic event, which correlated with a 30-ft (9.2 m) thick water-wet sandstone downdip, was traceable to an updip pinchout. Detailed seismic attribute analyses and geologic data were used to delineate the reservoir and develop the field. Olive has undergone primary and waterflood production and is a target for enhanced recovery using carbon dioxide. A total of 8.0 MMSTB or approximately 80X of the OOIP is estimated to be recoverable by conventional and enhanced recovery methods.
