"The ""200"" Sand Steamflood Demonstration Project, a jointly funded venture between Santa Fe Energy Company - Chanslor Division (formerly Chanslor-Western Oil and Development Company) and the United States Department of Energy (DOE), is testing an enhanced steamflooding technique in the Midway-Sunset Field, Kern County , California (Figure I-1). The project was initiated in July, 1975, by Santa Fe Energy Company -Chanslor Division (SFE) and was followed by the DOE Cost-Sharing Contract which commenced on June 16, 1976, and will expire on June 30, 1983. A contract initiation the total cost of the work to be performed under the contract was estimated to be $8,247,266. Of this estimated amount, the Government will fund a maximum amount of $1 , 700,000 (21%). Actual cost will be approximately 2.5 times the original estimate , because of increased fuel cost , delay in expanding project area which caused capital expenditure to rise, and the unpredictably high inflation rates. Likewise, the revenue stream has and will increase dramatically."
