Description

A number of operators have been searching for solutions in the form of new pump developments or improvements to existing artificial lift systems to contend with the difficult operating enviroment associated with low pressure steam assisted gravity drainage (LP-SAGD). The objective of this project was to test a number of downhole pumping systems in a laboratory environment in order to prioritize and select candidates for further field trials.

Description

This report describes a joint industry project commissioned to examine the impact of de-methanization on the viscosity of bitumen. The study involved the designing and construction of an experimental setup which enabled the preparation of different mixtures of methane and bitumen, and the measurement of the live bitumen viscosity and methane solubility at temperatures and pressures representative of a SAGD operation.
