Description

Reports on a solvent-assisted steam assisted gravity drainage (SA -SAGD) experimental pilot scheme at Cold Lake in the Clearwater formation conducted by Imperial Oil. The experimental process design for the pilot involves the addition of five to 20 per cent by volume of hydrocarbon solvent (diluent) along with the injected dry steam in a dual horizontal well SAGD configuration, which is intended to result in increased bitumen rates and decreased steam oil ratios relative to the conventional SAGD process.
