We are currently piloting Steam and Gas Push (SAGP) technology in some of our existing thermal in-situ projects. SAGP, which is a variation of the SAGD [Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage] process, involves addition of a small amount of non-condensible gas such as natural gas or flue gas to the injected steam. The process presents opportunities for reducing steam requirements and thus improved energy efficiencies for SAGD. We also plan provide an opportunity to use thickened or dry tailings. 2, record 1, English, - steam%20and%20gas%20push

Steam EOR [enhanced oil recovery): SRC is developing cutting edge thermal EOR techology for heavy oil reservoirs, merging injection/production wellbore architectures with enhanced steam injection processes. We have expertise in: = steam crest oil resaturation (SCOR); steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD); = steam and gas push (SAGP). 3, record 1, English, - steam%20and%20gas%20push

Le procédé SAGP («steam and gas push») est dérivé du SAGD («steam-assisted gravity drainage»), lequel est un procédé de drainage dû à la gravité sous l’action d’une injection de vapeur d’eau. L’injection de gaz en même temps que l’injection de vapeur d’eau doit permettre de réduire la quantité de vapeur d’eau à injecter pour une efficacité équivalente en terme de récupération et meilleure sur le plan économique.

Athabasca : le drainage avec injection de vapeur. La valorisation des sables bitumeux de l'Athabasca, au Canada, s’annonce plus difficile que celle des gisements de l'Orénoque. En effet, les conditions sont telles que le pétrole se trouve à l'état solide dans le sous-sol, ce qui nécessite de le chauffer pour le récupérer. Le Groupe étudie actuellement la viabilité du drainage par gravité, assisté par une injection de vapeur, un procédé dont l'efficacité énergétique représente un défi majeur. 2, record 1, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20SAGP
