SAGD: Life after CSS

Seismic on early SAGD projectSome SAGD schemes are for sale, some are shut down. By reviewing the early applications, you can learn a lot about the operation if you're interesting in buying a scheme.

An operator proposed a new SAGD scheme eight years ago in a field he recently acquired. The field had previously been a huff and puff steam operation for almost twenty years before that.

He had planned 8 months for regulatory approval. But it actually took over three years to obtain the approval.
