Injecting methane into SAGD

Maintain pressure without steam

NCG visualizationThis applicant needs to keep up the pressure in his SAGD operation. He proposes to inject non-condensible methane from the TCPL fuel gas line to supply pressure maintenance. He discusses his injection pattern and reasoning as well as the incremental recovery of the operation. We found this information using AppIntel.

AER applications contain more technical data even than SPE papers for two reasons: they are ground-truthed to actual UWI locations, and they are adjudicated by a very picky regulator.

Would you like to see what other operators in your areas are thinking about seismic, SAGD schemes, experimental schemes and recovery? AppIntel can help.
