Abstract
The flow path and travel time of production water from Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD, an oil sand recovery method) were estimated from an injection well located in a sand unit adjacent to a freshwater Quaternary aquifer. The modeling approach was based on the integrated use of Petrel©, a 3D geo-modeling software package, to define the hydrogeological units in the injection area using data from shallow seismic interpretation and down-hole geophysical surveys, and of Modflow (USGS, 1988-2005), a groundwater flow simulation program. These estimates allowed the feasibility and environmental compliance of the SAGD project under study to be assessed.
