Abstract
The steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) production potential of the Cold Lake oil sand lease was determined by using an analytical model. The model was also used to locate the ideal area for a pilot scale experiment. The pilot project consisted of one 900 meter horizontal steam injection well, one 950 meter horizontal production well and four vertical temperature observation wells. The experimental pilot project, known as the Hilda Lake Project, tested the use of SAGD to recover bitumen from the Clearwater Formation. Both the analytical models and numerical simulations provided consistent performance predictions for SAGD performance. Based on the success of this pilot project, it was concluded that the seven section lease was sufficient for a large commercial project. 2 refs., 23 figs.
