Healing SAGD hot spots

How do you stop steam from short circuiting from injector to producer in a SAGD Scheme?

One operator documents his attempt and improving injection conformance by injecting surfactant into SAGD hot spots. A hot spot is where steam from a SAGD injector bypasses directly to a producer.

His application documents the thinking behind this technology for reservoir path healing.

You can help yourself to his application documents to see his thinking behind the process. Just order it through our secure, self serve check out.

An AER application was submitted that has some interesting technical intelligence. We found this information 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 improve injection conformance? AppIntel and Proven can help.
