Replacing SAGD injectors for increased oil rate

Could extend the life of SAGD

Seismic Time Delay MapHow do you boost SAGD productivity? This operator is replacing SAGD injectors with new ones to improve steaming performance. They propose turning the old injectors into producers. As part of their evidence to convince the AER, they show 4-D seismic interpretations of steam chamber growth. Maybe the life of SAGD projects can be extended using such techniques. We found this information using AppIntel.

AER applications contain more technical data even than SPE papers for two reasons: they are ground-truthed to actual UWI locations, and they are adjudicated by a very picky regulator.

Would you like to see what other operators in your areas are thinking about seismic, commercial schemes, experimental schemes and recovery? AppIntel can help you find it quick and even deliver it to your inbox.
