Novel Expanding Solvent-SAGD Process "ES-SAGD"
Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology, 2002 Abstract The steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process has been successfully tested in field pilots, and commercial applications are currently underway by a number of oil companies. The process yields higher oil rates and faster reservoir depletion, as compared to other in situ oil recovery processes.

Heavy oil recovery efficiency using SAGD, SAGD with propane co-injection and STRIP-SAGD
Computers & Chemical Engineering, 2016 Abstract Primary oil recovery methods in heavy oil basins generally extract 5–10% of the available resource, with the vast majority left in the ground and recoverable only through Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods. Traditional EOR methods, such as SAGD and solvent-assisted SAGD, generate steam in surface facilities and inject it underground to ...

Senlac, The Forgotten SAGD Project
SPE Middle East Oil & Gas Show and Conference, 2017 Abstract The Senlac SAGD (Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage) project is Saskatchewan, Canada, does not have the same name recognition as its much bigger brothers in the Alberta Oil Sands but it certainly deserves to be known better. Senlac was the first industrial SAGD project in Canada back in 1997 and since then it has been the site for ...

Pad-scale control improves SAGD performance
Petroleum, 2018 Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is widely used in the Athabasca oil sands deposit to recover bitumen. Since the viscosity of bitumen is high at original reservoir conditions, heat is required to lower its viscosity to the point it becomes mobile ...

SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2017 Abstract Expanding-solvent steam-assisted gravity drainage (ES-SAGD) is a potential method to reduce steam-oil ratio (SOR) of SAGD, which is a critical concern especially for highly-heterogeneous reservoirs. The main objective of this research is to investigate the flow characteristics of heterogeneous reservoirs in which solvent is more

, 2017 Steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is a technique used to produce significant volumes of bitumen from Alberta’s oil sands. The generation of steam from natural gas combustion generates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Post-SAGD Efficiency Improvement
Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) has proved to be a technically and commercially successful methodology for recovering heavy-oil in Canada. At present, there are 22 commercial SAGD projects with over 300 pads and 2,700 well pairs, contributing to over 1.5 million bbl/day of production. The steam growth in the steam chamber could recover up to 60%

Bitumen Recovery Performance of SAGD and Butane- and Hexane-Aided SAGD in the Presence of Shale Barriers. [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2022 Oil and gas formations are commonly found to be heterogeneous, and one of the most common occurrences of reservoir heterogeneity is the presence of shale barriers. Shale barriers typically have very low permeability and high initial water saturation.
