West Hackberry Tertiary Project. Annual report, September 3, 1995--September 2, 1996
1997Co-Authors: T. Gillham, B. Cerveny, E. TurekAbstract:The West Hackberry Tertiary Project is a field test of the concept that air injection can be combined with the Double Displacement Process to produce a Tertiary recovery Process that is both low cost and economic at current oil prices. The Double Displacement Process is the gas displacement of a water invaded oil column for the purpose of recovering Tertiary oil by gravity drainage. In reservoirs with pronounced bed dip such as those found in West Hackberry and other Gulf Coast salt dome fields, reservoir performance has shown that gravity drainage recoveries average 80% to 90% of the original oil in place while waterdrive recoveries average 50% to 60% of the original oil in place. The target for Tertiary oil recovery in the Double Displacement Process is the incremental oil between the 50% to 60% waterdrive recoveries and the 80% to 90% gravity drainage recoveries. In previous field tests, the Double Displacement Process has proven successful in generating Tertiary oil recovery. The use of air injection in this Process combines the benefits of air`s low cost and universal accessibility with the potential for accelerated oil recovery from the combustion Process. If successful, this project will demonstrate that utilizing air injectionmore » in the Double Displacement Process will result in an economically viable Tertiary Process in reservoirs (such as Gulf Coast salt dome reservoirs) where any other Tertiary Process is presently uneconomic.« less

West Hackberry Tertiary project. Annual report, September 3, 1994--September 2, 1995
1996Co-Authors: T. Gillham, B. Cerveny, E. TurekAbstract:The West Hackberry Tertiary Project is a field test of the idea that air injection can be combined with the Double Displacement Process to produce a low cost Tertiary recovery Process which is economic at current oil prices. The Double Displacement Process is the gas displacement of a water invaded oil column for the purpose of recovering Tertiary oil by gravity drainage. The Double Displacement Process is based upon the concept that in fields such as West Hackberry waterdrive recoveries are typically 50%-60% of the original oil in place while gravity drainage recoveries average 80%-90% of the original oil in place. Therefore, by injecting a gas into a watered out reservoir, a gas cap will form and additional oil can be recovered due to gravity drainage. Although the Double Displacement Process has been shown to be successful in recovering Tertiary oil in other fields, this project will be the first to utilize air injection in the Double Displacement Process. The use of air injection in this Process combines the benefits of air`s low cost and universal accessibility with the potential for accelerated oil recovery due to the combustion Process. If successful, this project will demonstrate that the use of air injection in the Double Displacement Process will result in an economically viable Tertiary Process in reservoirs where Tertiary oil recovery is presently uneconomical.

The use of air injection in this Process combines the benefits of air's low cost and universal accessibility with the potential for improved oil recovery resulting from spontaneous in situ combustion. If successful, this project will demonstrate that utilizing air injection in the Double Displacement Process will result in an economically viable Tertiary Process in many Gulf Coast oil reservoirs where other Tertiary Processes are presently uneconomic. The West Hackberry Tertiary Project receives matching funds from the United States Department of Energy (DOE) as part of the DOE's Class 1 Program for the development of advance recovery technologies in fluvial dominated deltaic reservoirs.

Renal organic anion transport: a comparative and cellular perspective
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 2002Co-Authors: William H. DantzlerAbstract:Abstract A major system for net transepithelial secretion of a wide range of hydrophobic organic anions (OAs) exists in the proximal renal tubules of almost all vertebrates. This Process involves transport into the cells against an electrochemical gradient at the basolateral membrane and movement from the cells into the lumen down an electrochemical gradient. Transport into the cells at the basolateral membrane, which is the dominant, rate-limiting step, is a Tertiary active transport Process, the final step which involves countertransport of the OA into the cells against its electrochemical gradient in exchange for α-ketoglutarate moving out of the cells down its electrochemical gradient. The outwardly directed gradient for α-ketoglutarate is maintained by metabolism (∼40%) and by transport into the cells across both the basolateral and luminal membranes by separate sodium-dicarboxylate cotransporters (∼60%). The inwardly directed sodium gradient driving α-ketoglutarate uptake is maintained by the basolateral Na + –K + –ATPase, the primary energy-requiring transport step in the total Tertiary Process. The basolateral OA/α-ketoglutarate exchange Process now appears to be physiologically regulated by several factors in mammalian tubules, including peptide hormones (e.g., bradykinin) and the autonomic nervous system acting via protein kinase C (PKC) pathways and epidermal growth factor (EGF) working via the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway.
