... data was generated by the horizontal producers, which had thermocouples along the horizontal section. This project is the first THAI pilot in a conventional heavy oil reservoir underlain by a relatively thick bottom water zone, which has a negative effect on ISC application. It is hoped...

... Abstract An integrated approach was taken to utilize geochemistry information extracted from cuttings and produced oil samples to monitor vertical drainage between stacked reservoirs as well as to optimize well density in multi-bench cube development in the Montney play. Oil extracts from...

.... An isobutane Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is utilized to generate electricity from a geofluid circulated in post-SAGD heat recovery process with the temperature varying from 130 to 170 °C. The heat required by the DAC is extracted directly from the produced geothermal fluid. The analysis uncovers that Direct...

... Abstract The oil recovery in Section 14-50-25W3 (province of Saskatchewan, Canada) has evolved through multiple stages as technology has changed over time. Oil was initially produced through vertical wells beginning in the early 1970s. In the 2010s horizontal drilling was established...

... Objectives/Scope The paper describes the first field piloting of the Toe-To-Heel Air Injection (THAI) process - a novel in-situ combustion (ISC) process, which uses vertical air injectors and horizontal producers. The pilot (located in the Athabasca region of Canada) consisted of three...

... heat towards the heavy oil ( Canbolat 2020 , Austin-Adigio & Gates 2019 , Dong et al. 2019 , Zhu et al. 2016 , Erpeng et al. 2015 , Lu et al. 2014 , Liu et al. 2012 , Heron et al. 2008 , Butler 2004 , Bagci & Gumrah 2004 ). NCG can also push heavy oil downwards towards the producer...

... is key to understand their interaction with reservoir in long-run. Currently distributed temperature sensing (DTS) monitoring are vastly used for SAGD producers to improve the interpretation on their long-term performance. Although DTS helps to identify the hot-spots but it cannot identify steam flashing...

... the performance of SAGD producers drilled with sloping trajectories and completed with inflow control devices. The behavior of these wells was modeled using two different approaches: The proposed coupling methodology (wellbore and reservoir simulator coupling), and A fully-coupled reservoir-wellbore...

... perspectives, energy intensity, hardware requirements, and capital cost. Energy Intensity This can be defined as the amount of energy required to produce a single barrel of oil, and is often measured in gigajoules per cubic meters (GJ/m 3 ) or kilowatt-hours per barrel (kWh/bbl). RF heating may provide...

... years but drags behind the MDP production targets both in production pace and recovery trends. The oil is found in low quality sandstone rocks with permeability ranging between 20 md down to fractions of millidarcy. All producing wells are completed as vertical wells with high tonnage hydraulic...
