Jumping on the NCG bandwagon

Reduces steam oil ratios and cost

cross sectionIt's very popular to inject non-condensable gas (methane) with steam in SAGD projects. This practice started a few years ago and it can drastically reduce steam oil ratios and cost.

One operator is experimenting with NCG injection later in the life of wells. We found it using AppIntel. They think it will improve the performance of their project. The application also describes the modifications to their production and injection systems.

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.

Would you like to see what other operators in your areas are thinking about seismic, commercial schemes, experimental schemes and recovery? AppIntel can help.
