Productive Reservoir Definition, Naval Petroleum Research No. 2, Buena Vista Hills Oil and Gas Field: Investigation and Compilation of Records and Studies: Part 1, Executive Summary, Effective October 1, 1986

摘要

Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 2 (NPR-2), Buena Vista Hills, California covers 30,181 acres and is adjacent to and south of NPR-1. The Buena Vista Hills field has been produced continuously since the early 1920s. Of the 30,181 acres within the boundaries of NPR-2, the Government owns 10,446 acres (34.6%) and the remainder is privately owned. Virtually all of the Government's land (9,224 acres) has been leased in 17 separate units which ''checkerboard'' NPR-2. All NPR-2 development and production operations are performed by the lessees, with the Government receiving a royalty share of production, a combination of in cash and ''in-kind'' petroleum hydrocarbons. The scope of this study as described in Task Assignment 010 is to ''determine through research, investigation, analysis, and study, the geologic horizons, productive limits, and reserves existing at NPR-2''. A copy of Task Assignment 010 is included in this report as Appendix A. This report has been prepared in two parts: Part 1 - Executive Summary, this volume; and part 2 - Detailed Summary. Part 2 - Detailed Summary consists of a text volume with detailed descriptions of the producing pools and units in NPR-2, and an exhibit volume with the maps, figures, sections and tables which complement the text. Part 1 - Executive Summary is a short synopsis of the research performed with a broad description of NPR-2's characteristics. Certain of the exhibits which are in the more comprehensive Part 2 - Exhibit Volume are also included in this volume for ease of reference. (ERA citation 12:028307)
