How close is too close?

SAGD pattern mapHow do you decide on interwell spacing for a thermal bitumen project?

One operator has been optimizing interwell spacing for new pads based on production results of existing pads.

She is trying to answer the questions: When is it better to have closely spaced thermal injectors, and when are infill producers good enough?

SAGD Inter well distance

What is the best interwell distance? We've seen 45m to 100m. Some primary recovery schemes have even smaller. Infill wells are sometimes even smaller.

We keep abreast of all the new thermal technology.

Reading the applications of others can tell you how they decided the inter well distance. 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.
