... variances in steam injection have little impact on chamber pressure and therefore temperature. These unique characteristics present a number of opportunities to exploit seasonal and short-term variations in bitumen and gas prices to the advantage of the SAGD operator. Introduction As of December 2002...

.... A multilevel factorial design in 8 factors (576 simulations) was analyzed using response models and Monte Carlo simulation. The gas price, discount rate and initial reservoir pressure are the most important factors affecting present value, followed by horizontal and vertical permeability and completion...

... Abstract The Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) is dominantly a gas-bearing basin, particularly in the western and northern regions. With the major fluctuations in gas prices over the past year, it has become increasingly difficult to determine the economic viability of exploring...
