  • Monitoring of steam chamber growth
    Patent number: 10053972
    Abstract: A methodology and system promote hydrocarbon production from a reservoir using steam assisted gravity drainage. The technique comprises deploying sensors in a subsurface environment containing the reservoir. The sensors are used to obtain data on properties related to a steam assisted gravity drainage region of the reservoir. Based on the data collected from the sensors, the amount of steam injected into areas of the reservoir may be adjusted to facilitate, e.g., optimize, production of hydrocarbons.
    Type: Grant
