A pilot project is essentially a test project to determine how well production can be enhanced by using either water flood or gas injection to maintain the reservoir pressure. 

An application is reviewed for the following criteria:

• A letter requesting and outlining the details of the Enhanced Recovery Pilot Project.
• A reservoir structure map showing the reservoir boundaries with all of the leases in the immediate area identified, the existing wells identified as proposed producers or injection, the approximate acreage of the reservoir, and the scale of the map.
• A reservoir production history to justify the need of the Pilot Project, either tabular or graphical.
• If the reservoir crosses any lease line, then all of the lessors' written approvals of the project are required.
• A completed Enhanced Recovery Questionnaire must be submitted with the Pilot Project request: Excel Format, Adobe Acrobat Format
