You love SAGD. So do we.

outboard SAGD mapWhat's not to love about SAGD infills? And outboard wells are infills on the flank of your SAGD pad.

One operator submitted a classic application on the drilling of outboard wells in his SAGD project. He included his drilling and completion details complete with wellbore diagrams.

He showed his well placement on seismic cross sections and 3D seismic isochron and structure maps. He shows his expected recovery factor and the impact of outboard wells on his steam oil ratio.

Why reinvent the wheel?

Other operators have already pioneered outboard infill wells. If you learn from their field tests, you can be a quick copy of their success. And you can avoid their mistakes.

We keep abreast of all the new thermal technology.

Reading the applications of others can tell you how they designed their outboard well strategy. Even better, it tells you exactly which UWI has the outboard well.

Compare his recovery predictions with actual performance. That saves you from re-inventing the wheel.

Keep abreast of thermal paradigm shifts

The only way to stay abreast of rapid technological change is to read the AER applications of other operators. Technical papers don't expose new technology quickly enough. Technical forums don't reveal enough detail.

Now you can get an email each time a thermal application is submitted. Area alerts by AppIntel.

Get an email alert when a bitumen application is submitted anywhere in the province.
