Case Study
Effect of Primary Depletion on Thermal Steam Enhanced Oil Recovery
Case History Analytical pool studies are an excellent way to predict performance in developing fields. Experience has shown that fields with modest primary depletion have more effective responses to thermal steam enhanced oil recovery (EOR) than depleted fields. In Alberta and Saskatchewan, there have been numerous thermal steam projects implemented on depleted and non-depleted fields. Analysis of projects in the Lloydminster area shows
