4D Seismic in SAGD confirms bitumen thickness

4D seismic SAGD anomaliesIn his application, this operator included a discussion of 4D seismic technique and interpretation. He believes that 4D seismic images a steam chamber and helps confirm the bitumen thickness.

He says a 4D seismic anomaly is created with the oil sand is heated to 60 degrees C. He notes a rise in anomaly over time as well as lateral growth. He believes his work shows that steam chambers coalesce between the toes of the injectors.

Check out his discussion about the use of 4D seismic in his application documents. Help yourself through our self-serve, secure check out.

The application also proposes and experiment to drill infill wells using side track technology rather than starting fresh from the surface. He hopes to save cost and improve recovery using this side-track technology in this pattern.

The nice thing about seeing this application, is that you can determine exactly which pad will contain his side-track experiment. Then you can watch his SOR and production as a result of the new side-track infill well. Hopefully you can quickly learn from his mistakes and copy his successes.

Each AER application contains your neighbor's perspective on the exploitation of oil and gas formations. Applications contain more technical ideas even than SPE or CSEG 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.
