Starting a solvent-assisted SAGD at $40 oil

See his seismic processing & mapping

seismic isopach mapWithout concern for $40 oil, this operator is betting that oil price will rise enough to construct his solvent-assisted SAGD project.

He expects production of over 50,000 bbl/d and will build a new central processing facility. He included his seismic interpreted net pay map and structure maps from nine disparate 3-D seismic surveys shot over seven years.

He discusses his seismic data capture, processing flow and modeling. He discusses the useable fold at the formation of interest and his velocity models.

He details his distinct reflectors and how he dealt with channeling events. We found this using AppIntel.

If you're on the hunt for an acquisition opportunity, why not pick one where the seismic interpretation is in the public domain. You can find out all sorts of secrets about an oil field by reviewing their historic AER applications.

Each AER application contains your neighbor's perspective on the exploitation of oil and gas formations. Applications contain more technical data even than SPE papers.

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