  • the Athabasca bitumen resource in Alberta, Canada is one of the world's largest deposits of hydrocarbons. As describe above, a significant portion of the resource can be impaired by a water zone - causing the reservoir to be "leaky.” Also, The Athabasce bitumen resource in Alberta, Canada is unique for the following reasons:
  • the in situ EOR estimate is based on SAGD, or a similar process.
  • Bitumen reservoirs have a top seal (cap rock) that prevents oil from leaking and contains the resource. Bitumen was formed by bacterial degradation of lighter source oil to a stage where the degraded bitumen is immobile under reservoir conditions. Bitumen reservoirs can be self-sealed (no cap rock seal). If an in situ EOR process hits the "ceiling", the process may not be contained and it can easily be contaminated by water or gas from above the bitumen.
  • Bitumen density is close to the density of water or brine. Some bitumens are denser than water; some are less dense than water. During the bacterial- degradation and formation of bitumen, the hydrocarbon density can pass through a density transition and water can, at first, be less dense than the reservoir "oil”. Bitumen reservoir water zones are found above the bitumen (top water), below the bitumen (bottom water), or interspersed in the bitumen net pay zone (water lean zones (WLZ)).

  • SAGD is a bitumen EOR process that uses saturated-steam to deliver energy to a bitumen reservoir.
  • Figure 1 shows the basic SAGD geometry, using twin, parallel horizontal wells (2, 4)(up to about 1000m long) separated by about 2 to 8 m above the bottom of the bitumen zone (floor 8).
  • the upper well (2) is in the same vertical plane and injects saturated steam into the reservoir. The steam heats the bitumen and the reservoir matrix. As the interface between steam and cold bitumen moves outward and upward it creates a gas, gravity-drainage chamber ( Figure 2).
  • the heated bitumen and condensed steam drain, by gravity, to the lower horizontal well (4) that produces the liquids.
  • the heated liquids (bitumen + water) are pumped (or conveyed) to the surface using ESP pumps or a gas-lift system.
  • Figure 2 shows how SAGD matures.
  • a young steam chamber (1) has bitumen drainage from steep sides and from the chamber ceiling. When the chamber grows (2) and hits the top of the net pay zone, drainage from the chamber ceiling stops and the slope of the side walls decreases as the chamber continues to grow outward. Bitumen productivity peaks at about 1000 bbls/d, when the chamber hits the top of the net pay zone and falls as the chamber grows outward (3), until eventually (10-20 years) the economic limit is reached.
  • the produced fluids are at/near saturated steam temperatures, it is only the latent heat of the steam that contributes to the process in the reservoir. It is important to ensure that steam is high quality as it is injected into the reservoir.
  • WRR water recycle ratio
  • SAGD operation in a good-quality reservoir, is straightforward.
  • Steam injection rate into the upper horizontal well and steam pressure are controlled by pressure targets chosen by the operator. If the pressure is below the target, steam pressure and injection rates are increased. The opposite is done if pressure is above the target.
  • Production rates from the lower horizontal well are controlled to achieve sub-cool targets in the average temperature of the production fluids.
  • the sub-cool is the difference in temperature of saturated steam and the actual temperature of produced liquids (bitumen + water).
  • Produced fluids are kept at a lower T than saturated steam to ensure that live steam doesn't get produced. 20°C is a typical sub-cool target. This is also called steam-trap control.
  • the SAGD operator has two choices to make— the sub-cool target and the operating pressure of the process.
  • Sub-cool is safety issue, but operating pressure is more subtle and usually more important.
  • the higher the pressure the higher the temperature— linked by the properties of saturated steam ( Figure 3).
  • Figure 3 As operating temperature rises, so does the temperature of the heated bitumen which, in turn, reduces bitumen viscosity.
  • Bitumen viscosity is a strong function of temperature ( Figure 4).
  • the productivity of a SAGD well pair is proportional to the square root of the inverse bitumen viscosity (Butler (1991)). So the higher the pressure, the faster bitumen can be recovered - a key economic performance factor.
  • the SAGD operator usually opts to maximize economic returns, so the operator increases P and T as much as possible. Pressures are usually much greater than native reservoir P. A few operators have gone too far and exceeded parting pressure (fracture pressure) and caused a surface breakthrough of steam and sand (Roche, P., "Beyond Steam", New Tech. Mag., Sept 2011). Bitumen productivity peaks at about 1000 bbl/d for the best reservoirs, but it can be significantly impaired for the poorer reservoirs ( Figure 27). There also may be a hydraulic limit for SAGD ( Figure 6). The hydrostatic head between the two SAGD wells (2, 4) is about 8 psia (56 kPa).
  • the oil sands have a significant portion of the resource that is impaired by water lean zones (top water, bottom water, interspersed lean zones). These may cause the reservoir to be "leaky” with significant water influx or egress. Under these conditions, SAGD pressure control for steam injection does not work well. Pressure gradients need only be modest to transport large volumes of water and disrupt SAGD. It is hard to choose an appropriate pressure target or to accurately measure an appropriate pressure to minimize the harmful effects of a leaky reservoir.
  • Water Lean Zones (WLZ) with high water saturation may be at the top of the bitumen reservoir (top water), at the bottom (bottom water), or interspersed within the pay zone.
  • Figure 7 depicts an interspersed WLZ 18.
  • Interspersed WLZ have to be heated so that GD steam chambers can envelop the zone and continue growth of the GD chamber above and around the WLZ blockage.
  • a WLZ has a higher heat capacity than a bitumen pay zone.
  • Table 3 shows a 25% heat capacity increase for a WLZ compared to a pay zone.
  • iii. A WLZ also has higher heat conductivity than a bitumen pay zone. For example, WLZ has more than double the heat conductivity of the bitumen pay zone (Table 2).
  • v. SAGD steam can heat WLZ water to/near saturated steam T, but it cannot vaporize WLZ water. Breaching of the WLZ, will require water to drain as a liquid.
  • the WLZ can channel steam away from the SAGD steam chamber. If the steam condenses prior to removal, the water is lost but the heat can be retained. But, if the steam exits the GD steam chamber prior to condensing, both the heat and the water are lost to the process.
  • Interspersed WLZ's can distort SAGD steam chamber shapes, particularly if the WLZ is limited in lateral size. Normal growth is slowed down as the WLZ is breached. This can reduce productivity, decrease efficiency, and limit recovery.
  • bottom water zones 20 As best seen in Figure 8, the issues are similar to interspersed WLZ except that 1) bottom water underlies the bitumen and 2) the usual expectation is that bottom water is more active.
  • SAGD can operate at pressures greater than reservoir pressure as long as the following occurs: 1) pressure drops in the production well (due to flow/pumping) do not reduce local pressures below reservoir P and 2) the bottom of the reservoir, underneath the production well, is "sealed" by high- viscosity immobile bitumen (basement bitumen).
  • base bitumen basement bitumen
  • basement bitumen will become heated by conduction from the production well. After a few years, this bitumen will become partially mobile and SAGD pressure will need to be reduced to match reservoir pressure. This can be a delicate balance.
  • SAGD pressures cannot be too high or a channel may form, (reverse cone) allowing communication with the bottom water.
  • SAGD steam pressures cannot be too low either or water will be drawn from the bottom water (cresting). If this occurs, water production will exceed steam injection. The higher the pressure drops in the production well, the more delicate the balance and the more difficult it is to achieve a balance. If the reservoir is inhomogeneous or if the heating pattern is inhomogeneous, the channel or crests can be partial and the onset of the problem is accelerated.
  • top water 22 (as best seen in Figure 8), again, the issues are similar to interspersed WLZ and bottom water, with the expectation that top water is also an active water supply.
  • the problems are similar to bottom water, as above, except that SAGD wells are further away from top water. So, the initial period-when the process can be operated at higher pressures than reservoir pressure-can be extended compared to bottom water. The pressure drop in the production well is less of a concern because it is far away from the ceiling.
  • the first problem is likely to be steam breaching the top water interface. If the top water is active, water will flood the chamber and may shut the SAGD process down.
  • the usual method of SAGD operations control for a homogeneous reservoir is to first choose an operating pressure, in excess of the native reservoir pressure P, to try to maximize bitumen productivity. Then, with the chosen P as a target, the steam injection rate and pressure is adjusted to attain the pressure target (pressure control). For reason discussed in the previous section, if a WLZ is breached, the normal operating procedure becomes difficult.
  • This invention comprises a method to improve, preferably optimize SAGD performance in WLZ reservoirs (including top water and bottom water cases) or where the reservoir is a "leaky" reservoir.
  • a "leaky” reservoir loses injection fluids if operating P > native reservoir P or has encroachment of fluids if operating P ⁇ native reservoir P.
  • the invention further comprises measurement of the water recycle ratio (WRR) for reservoirs containing WLZ zones.
  • WRR is the volume ratio of produced water/injected steam, where steam injection is measured as a liquid- water equivalent. Rather than pressure control on steam injection rates, steam injection should be adjusted to attain a WRR target for each SAGD well.
  • Figure 9 shows the predicted performance. As can be seen, the predicted steam injection rate peaks at 2936 bbls/day and bitumen production rate peaks at 1002 bbls/day.
  • Figure 10 shows the predicted WRR performance. The WRR started around 0.9 and increased gradually to greater than 0.99 after 1200 days (3 1 ⁇ 4 years).
  • Figure 10 shows how a WRR-control strategy would work for SAGD in a homogeneous, sealed reservoir.
  • Case 2 allow 300 kPa ⁇ between well pairs; Case 2 (a) - extend production forecast to 3 yrs +;
  • Case 3 Same as Case 2, but after 1 year stop SAGD pressure control and shift to constant volume control (steam injection is constant);
  • Case 4 Same as Case 2, but with 3m thick WLZ (WLZ is 5% of pay zone volume);
  • Case 5 Same as Case 3, but with 3m thick WLZ;
  • Figures 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 show the predicted performance for each well pair, for Cases 1, 2, 2(a), 3, 4 and 5 respectively.
  • Figures 19 and 20 show the cumulative performance of both well pairs for the above cases.
  • Figures 21 and 22 show cumulative bitumen productivity for Case 1 (Base Case) and Case 2.
  • Figure 23 shows WRR performance for Case 3 for each well pair.
  • Figure 24 shows cumulative WRR performance for Case 1 vs. Case 3.
  • Figure 25 shows individual well pair bitumen performance for Case 3.
  • pressure control is adequate for SAGD. But, in practice it is difficult to measure pressure to a greater accuracy of about ⁇ 200 kPa (or about 10%).
  • the hydrostatic head in a 30m reservoir is about 335 kPa. Natural, lateral pressure drops in the production well can be up to over 50 kPa.
  • Figure 23 shows how volume control dramatically influences WRR. Alternately, it shows how WRR control would lead to short-term volume control.
  • Figure 24 shows that WRR profiles are similar for cumulative well pairs (well pair 1 + well pair 2).
  • a “leaky” SAGD pattern is one that produces an unusual amount of water.
  • the "leaky” SAGD pattern may have water leaks in/out of the pattern volume to other portions of the reservoir; it may have water leaks to/from an adjacent reservoir SAGD pattern; or, it may produce unusual water volumes from WLZ within the reservoir.
  • the WRR will be used as an indicator (the volume ratio of produced water to steam injected, where steam is measured as a water- volume equivalent).
  • Figure 10 shows the expected WRR behaviour.
  • WRR is between 0.90-0.95.
  • the GD steam chamber is forming, and the GD area is heating up. An inventory of liquid water is created in the reservoir.
  • WRR increases gradually from about 0.96 to 0.99. If the bitumen voidage is occupied by steam only, one would expect WRR to be greater than 0.99 ( Figure 11).
  • bitumen production is small and the WRR approaches the 0.99 value ( Figure 10).
  • a reasonable target for WRR - for a perfectly contained SAGD GD chamber and a homogeneous reservoir - during the peak period of SAGD (500-1500 days) is about 0.97.
  • Figure 23 shows WRR in a leaky reservoir and how a leaky reservoir is defined. If WRR deviates from 1.0 by more than ⁇ 0.10 after 200 or more days of continuous SAGD using normal pressure control, the reservoir is deemed as "leaky”. Using this definition, the Case 3 simulation WRR performance in Figure 23 would result in both well pair patterns deemed as "leaky”. Well pair 1 has a higher WRR, and well pair 2 has a lower WRR than the 1.0 control.
  • the SAGD pattern may be designated as “leaky” or potentially “leaky”.
  • Another alternative is to use a cold water injectivity test to quantify SAGD well connectivity to WLZ, top water, or bottom water zones (Aherne (2006)). This may also be used to designate a SAGD pattern as “leaky” or potentially “leaky”.
  • FIGs 14 and 25 show what can happen for a leaky reservoir.
  • Well pair 1 (the low P pattern) is flooded with 1) water from the WLZ and 2) from water condensed from steam injected into the adjacent well pair 2. After about 1 year, bitumen production is very small, and SOR is very high.
  • SAGD pressure control shuts off steam injection into well pair 1 after about 450 days.
  • Well pair 2 (the adjacent, high-P pattern) produces bitumen, but SOR is high.
  • steam from well pair 2 breaks through to well pair 1 ( Figure 15), and production from well pair 1 resumes as a pseudo steam flood.
  • An alternative control mechanism is to control steam injection rates, independent of reservoir pressure.
  • Figures 16 and 18 show that setting steam injection rates at fixed volumes, even after 1 year of pressure control, can restore bitumen productivity and improve other performance factors. But, a somewhat arbitrary and equal setting of volume rate targets may work partially because both well-pair patterns are homogeneous and identical expect for the WLZ connecting the patterns for the Cases studied. A more rigorous approach, and a way to account for some pattern differences, is to use WRR measurement for each pattern as a way to set targets and to control SAGD in leaky reservoirs, as follows:
  • target WRR for a near-homogeneous, contained GD chamber, target WRR ⁇ 1.0; for a leaky pattern, target WRR > 1.0, to account for water production from WLZ, top water or bottom water).
