Abstract: A promising technique for increasing deliverability and recoverable reserves to help minimize the gas shortage is infill drilling, particularly in tight reservoirs where present wells are not efficiently draining the reserves. Operators in the Blanco Mesaverde Field in the San Juan Basin area of New Mexico are drilling infill wells which have become economically feasible recently through enhanced completion technology and price incentives for new gas. The program began in early 1975 and through 1977 approximately 450 infill wells have been drilled with deliverability of nearly 250 MMcf/d, or 34% of the reservoirs productions. The program may increase recoverable reserves by 6 Tcf when some 2,000 infill wells are drilled.
