Most common challenges facing SAGD
How to dispose into an active SAGD zone
Every SAGD operation needs a disposal well. Challenge: How do you get approval to dispose into your own SAGD zone? We've seen many operators try to get this approved.
With AppIntel, you can get newly submitted applications relevant to your operations. Just set up AppIntel hit alerts for the words SAGD disposal. When a new application that contains these keywords is submitted to the regulator, you get an instant email notifying you.
The regulator has been reticent to approve disposal into active SAGD zones. But to operators, this push/pull strategy seems the best. One operator received this approval -- her pressure data changes the way she thinks about this strategy.
