How to Reduce the SAGD Fuel Bill – Understanding
the SAGD Heat Cycle
The biggest operating cost for Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) thermal
oil recovery is the fuel bill. So what can we do, and why? A complete solution
requires a close look at energy consumption for the entire SAGD heat cycle from
reservoir pore to pipeline and must include an operations perspective during
design. This talk examines the entire system and offers ways to improve the heat
recovery and reduce costs for new and old SAGD plants.
Mr. Buchanan traces his SAGD roots to its beginnings at AOSTRA UTF and has
worked on shift as a Plant Operator for Imperial Oil in Cold Lake. Bring his
operations experience to design, he takes the primary credit (or blame) for three
thermal recovery (SAGD and CSS) facilities in Alberta. He is a chemical engineer
at Jacobs Consultancy in Calgary working with clients to determine the best path
forward for their thermal recovery operations.
