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.

Description

Reports on a pilot project in the Athabasca Grosmont Formation to evaluate the commercial potential of thermal recovery within a karsted carbonate reservoir. While steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) has been demonstrated as a successful exploitation strategy within the McMurray clastics, the application of SAGD within a carbonate environment presents different challenges. A review of previous vertical well Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS) performance indicated that horizontal SAGD wells may prove to be an effective recovery process within the Grosmont Formation. Additionally, carbonate core analyses and lab testing further validated SAGD as an effective recovery process within the Grosmont Formation.

Description

EnCana’s objective in this project was to re-pressure the top gas zones in sections 11 through 16-76-6W4M, to minimize the differential pressure primarily between the steam zone and the top gas zone. Maintaining a minimal differential pressure between the two zones ensures that the steam chamber (heat) is not lost into the gas zone, causing the SAGD process to be inefficient and potentially reducing overall oil recovery.
