Shale in SAGD
How much is too much?
Can SAGD be successful in shaley bitumen? How much shale is too much?
You can't find applications that discuss shale content of the SAGD sand without Appintel. It allows you to search through application documents just like Google. Can't find that anywhere else.
One operator proposes to begin a SAGD operation in shaley sand and still hopes to recovery 50% of the bitumen in place. See all his plans and his NALA application by following the link above.

We stay abreast of all SAGD technology by following submissions to the government.
Search through application documents just like Google
Imagine being able to search through application documents in Google. Google doesn't show application documents of course, but you can still find them through KiP, AppIntel's search engine.
In AppIntel you can find applications that discuss shale content of the SAGD sand. Just type into the Appintel search bar sagd shaley sand.
Reservoir quality: Prepare to get dirty
Conventional wisdom says that reservoir quality is key in SAGD.
In fact, some operators redrill wells when they encounter a substantial shale content.
But some shale content might be tolerated says this operator.
Think how much more bitumen might become available to a SAGD operation if they're right.
You need to read their opinion about shaley sand from their submission documents.
Keep abreast of SAGD paradigm shifts
SAGD is too new to find advances in text books. The technology is changing rapidly. Some companies are pushing the boundaries of what we know to improve production and reduce cost.
You can't afford to hear about their advances in six months. You need to go to the source -- their disclosures in their AER applications. You can't keep up to speed without AppIntel.
Now you can get an email each time a thermal application is submitted. Area alerts by AppIntel.
