Description

Chemical flooding of the Suffield Upper Mannville UU conventional heavy oil pool started in May, 2007 and continued throughout 2011. Although the project could be deemed a success, two pre-existing production-related issues remained unresolved, and a significant sodium hydroxide leak in July 2010 reinforce that the ASP flooding process is more dangerous and complicated compared to existing waterflood operations.
