On the Difficult Birth of SAGD
Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology, 1999Introduction This contribution attempts to address some questions suggested by the series(1,2,3) to date. The answers are not all technical in nature: "Problems aren't solved by technology alone; we also need a thorough understanding of social dynamics."(4) After some select ...

Rigorous coupling of geomechanics and thermal-compositional flow for SAGD and ES-SAGD operations
SPE Canada Heavy Oil Technical Conference, 2015Abstract Steam Assistant Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is widely used to recover heavy oil and bitumen reservoirs. Typical SAGD operations involve a pair of horizontal wells separated vertically. Steam, or a steam-solvent mixture (e.g., Expanding- Solvent SAGD), is injected into the upper well to form a steam chamber and mobilize oil, which ...

SAGD Liner Evaluation and Liner Test Design for JACOS Hangingstone SAGD Development
SPE Canada Heavy Oil Technical Conference, 2015Abstract JACOS’ Hangingstone Demonstration Project has been in operation since 1999. The company has used the 10,000 bbl/D facility as a foundation for learning and refining SAGD processes and operations. The 24 operational well pairs, with 15 years of production has provided valuable insight into the performance of different liner ...

SPE Heavy Oil Conference-Canada, 2014
Abstract Efficient recovery of heavy oil and bitumen in western Canada has widely been applied with thermal-based processes. The well-known Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) takes advantage of the strong dependency of bitumen viscosity on temperature ranging from 10 to 250 °C.

Abstract Canada's remaining resources of conventional crude oil are relatively slight and dwindling, but heavy oil and, particularly, bitumen resources are large. Their quantity approaches that of the resources of conventional oil in the Middle East.

Impact of Different SAGD Well Configurations (Dover SAGD Phase B Case Study)
Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology, 2012Summary The volume of heavy oil and bitumen in the oil-sands deposits in western Canada is similar to that of conventional crude oil in the Middle East. This resource is immense but is difficult and energy intensive to extract because the viscosity of the oil is high, typically greater than 100,000 to 1,000,000+ cp at original reservoir ...

Abstract In steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process, accumulation of non-condensable gases at the edges of the steam chamber creates a resistance to heat transfer between hot steam and cold bitumen, thus slowing down growth of the steam chamber.

SPE Latin American and Caribbean Petroleum Engineering Conference, 2015
Abstract Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is considered a successful EOR method for heavy oil and bitumen. A two-dimensional physical model is designed to conduct experiments in this study. The consistency of the experimental data obtained was tested. The designed model was instrumented with 15 temperature sensors at

Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology, 1997
The answer depends on what you call "Steam-assisted Gravity Drainage" or SAGD. In its original, pristine form, it may be the ne plus ultra of the entire repertoire of the EOR methods. In the current usage, just about any field project involving steam injection and a horizontal well, or two, is called "SAGD." Furthermore, from the published literature ...

Abstract The residual oil saturation determination is critical for the performance evaluation of any Enhance Oil Recovery (EOR) methods. The existing residual oil saturation determination methods are mainly based on solvent extraction. However, because the quality of the extracted residual oil and the remaining spent rock samples have not been ...
