Cut SAGD steam cost
How can you cut the cost of steam in SAGD?
One operator believes that by injecting surfactant in a SAGD pattern he can change the emulsion production from oil/water emulsion to a water/oil emulsion and therefore reduce inter facial tension. He hopes this will increase bitumen recovery without any additional steam generation.

We stay abreast of all SAGD technology by following applications.
Keep up with thermal technology
Thermal technology changes quickly. Thermal operators are always trying something new to cut the cost of steam generation. Many of their attempts reduce steam requirement and improve recovery.
Operators are generating steam with produced water, injecting methane, injecting propane, injecting surfactant and trying many other ways to improve the viability of their SAGD operations. Some are even suspending their operations hoping they can start them up again later.
The only way to stay abreast of rapid technological change is to read the AER applications of other operators. Technical papers don't expose new technology quickly enough. Technical forums don't reveal enough detail.
When oil was $90, some companies had whole teams of people data-mining applications. But today, when oil price is cut in half, more and more companies find it's cheaper and faster to have AppIntel.
Get more done with less
AppIntel costs less than a quarter of one person's salary. For the same price of a team of six man data-mining department, you could supply all your thermal engineers with AppIntel.
AppIntel's search functions are quicker than made-in-house searches. And AppIntel's collection of historic applications is vary larger than any in-house collection we've seen.
AppIntel has area alerts that allow you to see new applications as soon as they are submitted.
AppIntel doesn't take sick days or vacations and it works on weekends. It doesn't miss applications or documents -- it's contents are triple checked for accuracy. And it adds search by UWI for applications that don't even have a UWI.
