Early non-condensable gas injection project

NCGI nostalgia

vapor flow diagramInjecting non-condensable gas is being used by many operators to reduce steam requirement and cost. Interestingly, this technology has been around for over 7 years as shown in this application from 2009. Seeing their conclusions from first experiments with gas injection is not just nostalgic, it also highlights some of the operational problems surrounding this strategy. We found this using AppIntel.

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

Can we help you implement NCGI? AppIntel and Proven can help.

Subscribers can view this application by pasting the following link into their browser after logging into AppIntel. http://app.appintel.info/AOW.php?pxnrg=63516n36333533333131384433
