Numerical Assessment of Caprock Integrity in SAGD Operations Considering Mechanical Anisotropic Behavior of Shale Layers
DownloadSpring 2016
There has been an increasing awareness of the importance of caprock integrity during Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) operations. However, mathematical tools that have been developed for caprock integrity studies have not incorporated an important characteristic of cap shales, which is the...

Alberta’s oil sands deposits are the third-largest proven crude oil reserve in the world. However, only 20% of the bitumen in Alberta’s oil sands are shallow enough to be recoverable by surface mining techniques; the remaining 80% can only be extracted using in-situ techniques that involve the...
