Dealing with SAGD steam breakthrough

Trying a side track

When steam breaks through from SAGD injector to producer, it's difficult to heal. In this application, the applicant proposes an interesting side track to increase bitumen recovery. He discusses the details of the breakthrough failure, his analysis of the recovery to date, and his plans for mitigation. We found this information through AppIntel.

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.
