Abstract: A method for accelerating the decision making process for reservoir risk management is described. In particular, an ensemble based decisions and filter are used to quickly compare different information scenarios to determine the best strategy for developing a hydrocarbon-containing reservoir.

Abstract: A new water treatment system for SAGD operations is disclosed. Instead of treating both produced water and recycled water using warm lime softening systems, the recycled water is combined with saline water in a cold lime softening system. This results in slightly warmed reactions that require less chemicals during the lime softening process while also allowing for larger volumes of treated produced water to be generated by the warm lime softening system.

Abstract: Described herein is a coagulant blend for use in SAGD water treatment systems. Specifically, a blend of high charge density polyamine and low charge density poly(diallylmethyl ammonium chloride (poly-DADMAC) is used in the warm lime softening treatment process to coagulate and flocculate solids.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for sealing stage tool leaks are disclosed. In one aspect a stage tool for wellbore cementing comprises an external stage tool body and a sliding sleeve within the external stage tool body configured to regulate cement flow through the stage tool. At least a portion of the sliding sleeve comprises a meltable alloy configured to seal a leak. The meltable alloy is configured to be melted by a heating source, flow into the leak, and resolidify as the melted alloy cools, thereby sealing the leak.

Abstract: A new method of assessing wettability of a reservoir rock is provided, using a mineral oil/alkane saturated sample first, a crude oil and water saturated sample equivalent to natural reservoir rock second, and a third crude oil saturated, water free sample, measuring different wettability states and comparing the slopes of all three adjusted values to determine a wettability state for the reservoir rock.

Abstract: Methods and systems related to SAGD injection and/or production wells that utilize flow distribution control devices. Additionally, methods and systems using limited vertical spacing separating the wells are described. These methods and systems improve steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) oil production, reduce SAGD start-up time and costs, and improve overall SAGD performance.
