Testing steam conduction affect
Will the zones above flow?
This operator is testing how the vertical steam chamber of his SAGD pattern affects overlying strata by using a vertical well. He hopes to determine if the heat conduction from the existing pattern is adequate to allow bitumen flow from multiple zones above the steam chamber. Since this application was several years ago, you can see the actual results of his test. We found this using AppIntel.
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.
