Spreading CSS to multi-well flood

Hopes to increase recovery between wells

diagram of warm solvent recoveryAfter successful cyclical steam recovery in one pad, the applicant proposes to steam between the wells. He proposes to change his huff and puff scheme into a continuous steam injection operation to push steam over 160m through heavy oil to other wells. By flooding the unswept formation between the wells, he hopes to increase recovery another 10%. This recovery mechanism is being used in a 20m thick formation where the operator has decided that SAGD will be uneconomic.

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.
