Case Study
Monitoring Long - term Steam Chest Development during Thermal Operations in Northern Alberta
Monitoring Long-term Steam Chest Development during Thermal Operations in Northern Alberta ESG continuously monitored a thermal recovery operation in the heavy oil sands of Alberta. Analyzing microseismic data collected over eight years provides a valuable time- lapse image of steam chamber development throughout the reservoir. Observing the steam chamber development aids in maximizing production and avoiding by-passed zones.
