PTAC PETROLEUM TECHNOLOGY ALLIANCE CANADA

Program Purpose:

The project will investigate the steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) Wind Down process (i.e. the end of life of a SAGD well pair) and minimize the negative impact of a depleted SAGD reservoir on adjacent producing SAGD well pairs. The potential for mitigation will be evaluated by comparing alternatives such as gas injection (methane, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide) and flue gas in terms of their technical and economic benefits and determine the cost and energy efficient method to fill in depleted reservoirs.
