Graeme Finley
A senior geologist with the University of Wyoming’s Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute has been named to the Governing Board of Wyoming’s Board of Professional Geologists.
Graeme Finley, who was appointed by Gov. Mark Gordon, has 20 years of geologic experience and has been a professional geologist for 14 years. He received his bachelor’s degree in geology from UW.
“Graeme Finley grew more both personally and professionally than anyone I have worked with during my career,” says Jimmy Goolsby, a geologist and member of the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. “I would like to think I had something to do with that growth, but he did it all himself. He is a credit to the profession, and I am proud to say I was his first professional employer.”

A report detailing the potential benefits of polymer flooding the Minnelusa formation in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin is now available from the University of Wyoming’s Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute (EORI).
Polymer-augmented waterflooding has proven to be a successful method for improving production in Minnelusa oil reservoirs. The new EORI report, which is available here, offers insights to make the technique more widely effective.
Advantages of using polymer include: low cost; prevention of early water breakthroughs; improvement in volumetric sweep and conformance; reducing water production; and mobilizing bypassed oil. Additional enhanced recovery methods can still be applied to the reservoirs after polymer flooding has been initiated.
