Prudhoe gas sales in 2020s could be timed well for aging oil field

Currently, gas reinjection (also called 'gas cycling') is used in the Prudhoe Bay oil fields to apply pressure on the underground oil to move it towards wells. By the mid-2020s, though, this technique and others will be play out as the Alaska LNG project will start sending maybe a third of...

520 |a Currently, gas reinjection (also called 'gas cycling') is used in the Prudhoe Bay oil fields to apply pressure on the underground oil to move it towards wells. By the mid-2020s, though, this technique and others will be play out as the Alaska LNG project will start sending maybe a third of Prudhoe Bay's gas production to market. The article describes Prudhoe Bay's reservoir pressure, and how gas and water injection are used in oil production.
