The dream of steam-less SAGD
Okay, perhaps the title should be The dream of less-steam SAGD. But at a 50% steam savings, non-condensable gas injection commands a lot of attention.
AppIntel helps you find all methane injection SAGD applications. Just enter NCGI in the KiP search box.
One very experienced SAGD operator is adding methane injection into more declining SAGD wells claiming big savings in steam and improved recovery.

NCGI has hit mainstream
Non-condensable gas injection (methane injection) has hit mainstream. Many operators are experimenting with it.
All these have been passed the theoretical phase and lab test phase. Each has been implemented in the field.
Check out 8 applications that document field trials of NCGI co-injection. Some of these strategies could drastically improve your thermal scheme.

9 other potent ways to enhance steam injection: SAGD
If you want to save cost, what is the best fluid to inject with steam? Operators are co-injecting many different fluids in the field to improve their SAGD operations -- not just methane.
Some injectants take the place of steam. They are mostly designed to cut down the steam generation requirement. Steam is very expensive to generate.
Ever wonder how other steam additives worked in the field? You can find out by reviewing these nine applications by other operators.
8 more classic SAGD gas injection applications
Classic SAGD applications regarding gas injection are not the most current, but they were written when NCGI was just taking off. They contain interesting reference material.
Appintel: do more with less
In the current environment, bitumen operators are being pressed to do more with less staff. AppIntel costs less than a quarter of a person's salary. And it helps you find more bitumen recovery intelligence quicker.
When coming out of a recession, companies have always turned to automation to improve the productivity of a leaner work force. The IBM PC became popular after the 1986 recession. GIS applications like Accumap became popular after the 1995 recession. Electronic logs and cross sections became popular after the 1999 recession.
