Repressuring SAGD gas cap using combustion

Novel approach boosts SAGD pressure

diagram of repressuring sagd gas capAn AER application was submitted that has some interesting technical intelligence. We found this information using AppIntel.

Several novel approaches exist to repressuring depleted gas caps over thermal schemes. In this one, the applicant is using combustion to ignite residual bitumen in the gas cap to boost gas cap pressure. The application discusses problems with monitoring wells for such a project.

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.

Would you like to see what other operators in your areas are thinking about seismic, commercial schemes, experimental schemes and recovery? AppIntel can help.
