Wells: The field test site is a 10,000-acre operating oil field offering a full complement of associated facilities and equipment on site. There are approximately 1,300 historical well bores and 600 producing wells in nine producing reservoirs ranging in depth from 300 ft. to 5,500 ft.

Cased and open-hole wells are available for testing at depths of 300 ft. to 6,000 ft. Casing diameters range from 4.5 in. to 20 in. Well records, core samples, and production data are commonly available for analysis prior to selecting the best candidate well for a field test.

Average production is 375 barrels of oil per day and 40,000 barrels of water per day. Production is primarily light, sweet (low sulfur) crude. Production from the Tensleep Formation is sour crude. Produced gas is processed at the on-site gas plant and natural gas liquids are separated out and sold. The remaining methane fraction is re-injected into the Second Wall Creek Member of the Frontier Formation.

Production facilities: The on-site facilities and equipment significantly reduce the cost of field testing at RMOTC. Should a field test require equipment not already on sitesuch equipment is commonly available in the local area because the oil and gas industry is active in the region. In-place facilities and equipment include:

• 30 batteries and test satellites consisting of 60 manifolds, 38 treaters, 31 storage tanks and 24 transfer pumps.
  
  
•  An LTS Gas Plant rated at 10 MMcf per day (current production is 2 MMcfgpd)
  
  
•  Core research opportunities
