Diluent Soak in CSS

For improving CSS injectivity

map with UWI pinsTo improve injectivity in a formation where viscosity can get up to 194,000 cp, this operator proposed injecting diluent into the injector and leaving it soak for thirty days before injecting steam. You could think of this as a miscible injection scheme for bitumen. He discusses his rational, his injection pad plans, and his hopes for healing injection. Since this proposal was submitted two years ago, you can look at his plans and then check the production records from the injector UWI to determine his success. We found this information using AppIntel.

Technology in AER applications is always ground truthed to actual UWIs. Reading an application about applied technology allows you to see how the proposed operation affects production.

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.

Can we help you improve injectivity? AppIntel and Proven can help.
