Firebag - Suncor As the third commercial in situ steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) facility built in Alberta, Firebag produced its first million barrels in 2004 and reached a 750-million-barrel milestone in 2022
Firebag - Oil Sands Magazine A deep dive into everything that happens below the surface in a typical thermal in-situ facility — from well planning to late-life and enhanced recovery methods, for both CSS and SAGD operators
Suncor Firebag 2020 AER Scheme Performance Report Commercial Scheme . . . In Firebag, NCG and steam co-injection typically commence on a pad when estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) recovery has exceeded 65%, through normal SAGD operations Geological characteristics, SAGD performances optimization approaches and surface infrastructure are also considered when evaluating timelines for NCG co-injection
Celebrating 20 years of Firebag with strong performance Back then, Firebag was the third commercial facility in Alberta to use the steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) method of oil sands recovery SAGD involves drilling wells to inject steam, which extracts bitumen to the surface for processing
Suncor Firebag | Oil Sands Job Opportunities in Alberta The Firebag facility, situated approximately 120 kilometers northeast of Fort McMurray, is Suncor's largest in situ oil sands operation Utilizing Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) technology, Firebag produces up to 215,000 barrels of bitumen per day from about 600 wells
Oil Sands - SAGD Facilities List – Oil Gas Leads Sunrise – The Sunrise project is 100% owned and operated by Cenovus Sunrise is about 60 kilometres northeast of Fort McMurray, Alberta and its reservoir sits roughly 200 metres below the surface The facility began operating in 2015
Sunrise oil sands project, Canada – NS Energy Sunrise Energy Project is located nearly 60km northeast of Fort McMurray in Alberta between Imperial Kearl Project to the north and Suncor Firebag to the east It is expected to become a stable source of crude oil production for North America for 40 years
Firebag Oil Sands project (Suncor) - Wikimapia Owned by Suncor Energy, the Firebag project will use steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process which uses horizontal wells to reach the oil sands ore The top well injects steam to heat the reservoir, allowing the bitumen to flow to the lower well where it is collected and piped to Suncor's upgrading facilities at Fort McKay, 40 km away
Maximizing Value from Advanced Reservoir Management at Suncors Firebag . . . This study focused on reservoir management and optimization at Firebag With steam being the energy delivery system to the reservoir, it is imperative that it is distributed in a manner that optimizes usage and results in the lowest feasible Steam to Oil Ratio (SOR)
