CMTC 2017 Site Visit to the Oyster Bayou Field

Note: Due to maintenance at the Hastings Oil Field, the tour was scheduled at the Oyster Bayou Field

Denbury Resources acquired a majority interest in Oyster Bayou Field in 2007. The field is located in southeast Texas, east of Galveston Bay, and is somewhat unique when compared to their other CO₂ EOR projects because the field covers a relatively small area of 3,912 acres. Denbury began CO₂ injections into Oyster Bayou Field in the second quarter of 2010, commenced tertiary production in the fourth quarter of 2011 from the Frio A-1 zone, and booked initial proved tertiary reserves for the field in 2012. In 2014, Denbury completed development of the Frio A-2 zone. Production from Oyster Bayou Field is believed to have peaked in 2015.
