SAGD infill performance

Classic SAGD game changer

SAGD infill cartoonWhatever you call them, infill wells can improve SAGD production with reduced capital.

One operator describes his SAGD performance improvements in this classic application. He describes his experience over 4 years and their impact on steam oil ratio (SOR), accelerated production, and incremental recovery.

Understanding the intelligence contained in this application is important to anyone trying to optimize their SAGD operation

Completion details

In his application he describes the completion details of his infills. He includes wellbore diagrams and a discussion of lift installed.

He also discussed well placement and inter well spacing.

Production improvements

He extols the benefit of a reduced water cut in the infill well production. He shows incremental production profiles and reserves estimates.

And all applications are ground truthed to real UWIs. You won't find that in SPE papers.
