FAE proposes to convert the Wells from producers to injectors for waterflood operations and plans to inject water through a closed system of perforations at depths of 9,185’ to 9,524’ within the McKee zone of the Simpson formation in the Teague-Simson Pool (Code 58900). The proposed average injection pressure through the Wells is expected to be approximately 1400 psi. The expected maximum injection pressure will be calculated relative to the depth of the highest perforation, using a factor of 0.25 psi/ft. The proposed Wells will have perforation depths between approximately 9,185’ and 9,524’ (or 2,296 psi and 2,381 psi maximum injection pressure, respectively). Pending results of a step rate test, the maximum injection pressure could potentially be increased to a factor of 0.6 psi/ft (or 5,511 psi at 9,185’ and 5,714 psi at 9,524’). The proposed average injection rate is expected to be approximately 600 barrels of water per day. The maximum daily injection rate will be 1,500 barrels of water per day or as permitted by the Division. The Unit acreage is located approximately 20 miles south of Eunice, New Mexico.
