Liquids-Rich Plays,Residual Oil Zone Projects Have Permian Booming

摘要

The Permian Basin is booming-again. Ironically, the same region in which crude oil has been the lifeblood of local economies for the better part of 80 years has emerged as one of the biggest winners in the U.S. oil and gas industry's push into a new frontier of unconventional liquids plays. Rarely have times been better in the oil fields of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico, with one of the hottest multizone oil resource plays in the nation, high-potential horizontal shale plays with both liquids and gas reserves, and a new era of enhanced recovery projects focused on the residual oil zone (ROZ) below what historically has been perceived as the oil/water contact.
