Improved Monitoring System for Heavy-Oil Steam-Assisted-Gravity-Drainage Wells

摘要

The complete paper provides an overview of the development of fiber-optic sensing for steam-assisted- gravity-drainage (SAGD) applications, including a review of more than 10 years of work in development and field applications in western Canada. Information provided in this paper is applicable beyond SAGD applications. The fiber-optic monitoring systems might also be used for intelligent, subsea, and unconventional wells.
