Methane and steam as fence injection
The applicant proposes injecting methane and steam around a pilot to re-pressurize the area. He hopes this will keep the steam chambers from leaking out of pattern -- he hopes to keep the steam focused to the producer locations.
He's basically using non-condensable gas injection as a fence treatment to keep the SAGD operation in pattern. He details his cost cutting strategies for injection and his injection schedule. We found this using AppIntel.
In addition, he shows better recovery factors for non-condensable gas injection coupled with infill wells.
