THAI failure in field test

Ever heard of THAI? It's not a far eastern type of cuisine.

Toe-to-heel air injection (THAI) was an enhanced bitumen process that was touted to be the best and cheapest recovery process.

But one operator tried it and believed that the THAI process failed in his pilot. He discusses the process, why he believed it failed, and what he'll try next.

Help yourself to his results, his conclusions, his successes and his regrets. You can get his application documents through our self serve, secure check out.

AER applications contain more technical data even than SPE papers for two reasons: they are ground-truthed to actual UWI locations, and they are adjudicated by a very picky regulator.

Would you like to see what other operators in your areas are thinking about seismic, SAGD schemes, experimental schemes and recovery? AppIntel can help.
