Abstract

Unrecovered mobile oil is oil that is movable at reservoir conditions but is prevented from migrating to existing we1 l bores because of geologic complexities or heterogeneities. To assess the potential for incremental recovery of unrecovered mobile oil from reservoirs owned by The University of Texas System, the volumes of unrecovered mobile oil remaining in reservoirs on University Lands were quantified through integrated characterization of individual reservoirs.
