SAGD Blowdown Experiment

Shows his unexpected results

Several operators are creating field conditions that will help them explore how SAGD projects will react during the blowdown phase. Understanding of recovery and flow rates during blowdown is critical to understanding reserves forecasting as well as long-term pipeline and facilities management.

This operator explains his blowdown testing and the unexpected results he found. He also shows the temperature profiles for a few wells. Check it out our self-serve web portal.

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.
