Description

Performance of the Bell Canyon Test (BCT) borehole plug has been monitored for a seven-month period. Data indicate the 2.1-meter-long plug-formation system limited the Bell Canyon flow to 5 x 10-3 STB/D. Complete test results, analytical/numerical data analysis techniques, and associated plug performance evaluation assessments are included herein. Extension of conventional oil-field technology to formations having the microdarcy-type permeabilities of those examined in the BCT emphasize the measurement limitations inherent within the current technology. Problems encountered in performing reliable, reproducible, microdary range permeability measurements are therefore identified, data discrepancies are discussed, and the resulting impact on plug performance assessment is defined
