Secondary Recovery was introduced to the oil field some years ago. One of the most advanced secondary recovery projects to date was "kicked off" by the Atlantic Refining Company on May 9, 1958, on the H.T. Boyd Lease in Slaughter Field, Texas. This project consists of injecting propane, then gas, then water into the San Andres pay. This paper will explain briefly the operation and problems encountered in this Miscible Slug Project.
