Solvent and SAGD -- High voltage edition

SAGD electric well schematicYou've heard of SAGD.
You know about injecting solvent.
You've heard of electric heating.
But what about injecting electrically heated solvent into a SAGD pattern?

How would you find all the variations on SAGD without AppIntel? It can send you an email every time there's a new application submitted with the words thermal bitumen . How would you keep up on SAGD advances any other way?

One operator decided to inject condensate into a well, heat it electrically in the wellbore and inject it into the reservoir. Then he produces back the well.

His results are confidential until 2019. But you can check out his design details and hopes for recovery from his application to the regulator.

You can have them in moments from our self-serve application document portal.

We stay abreast of all SAGD technology by following applications.

S in SAGD stands for steam

The S in SAGD stands for steam. But many non-steam pilot heating systems are springing up in the SAGD realm. How many do you know?

Radio frequency heating Preheating near-wellbore

Some heating systems are for preheating the near-wellbore formation.

heat front Trim heating

Some are for trim heating steam/hot water. Some are developed to reduce the steam load on boilers.

heat front Pre-heating solvent

Some systems heat condensate or solvent before injection.


conductor design Production fluid heating

Some are for heating the reservoir fluids on the way up the wellbore.

heat front Directly heating the reservoir

Some to increase heat directly into the reservoir.


You can find all these through AppIntel by searching for thermal bitumen . Without AppIntel, how else would you find them?

Stay up to date on SAGD advances by email alert

Imagine if you could get an email alert every time a new thermal scheme application was submitted. You can get unlimited alerts using AppIntel.

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