Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to harvesting geothermal energy from mature and near end-of-life oil and gas reservoirs that have been subjected to secondary oil recovery steam processes like steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), steamflood, etc. The geothermal potential of these mature SAGD reservoirs can be used to generate green electricity thus reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint of the oil production. Lateral spacing of injectors and producers, with closing of unused members of a well-pair for energy recovery is described.

Abstract: Described herein are methods for accelerating the start-up in SAGD type processes wherein the volume between the injector and the producer is preheated utilizing open-holes drilled between wells. The recovery of hydrocarbons is also improved due to a viscous fluid drive in the open-holes during SAGD operations.

Abstract: Methods and systems relate to recovering hydrocarbons with an injection well placed at a bottom of a reservoir some horizontal distance from a producer, such that the injection well and producer may both be in a common horizontal plane. For some embodiments, the process includes co-injection of steam with a non-condensable gas, such as methane, ethane, propane, carbon dioxide, combustion products and combinations thereof. The non-condensable gas provides additional solution gas drive while the location of the injection well beside, instead of above, the producer increases production time before a steam chamber reaches a top of the reservoir, increasing thermal and recovery efficiency of the process.
Abstract translation: 方法和系统涉及回收碳氢化合物，其中注入井位于与生产者一定水平距离的储层底部，使得注入井和生产者都可以处于共同的水平面。 对于一些实施方案，该方法包括将蒸汽与不可冷凝气体如甲烷，乙烷，丙烷，二氧化碳，燃烧产物及其组合共同注入。 不可冷凝气体提供额外的解决方案气体驱动，而注射井的位置而不是上述生产者的位置在蒸汽室到达储存器的顶部之前增加了生产时间，从而提高了该方法的热和回收效率。

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reducing solvent retention in ES-SAGD process so as to increase process economics wherein an anti-retention agent is injected into the reservoir to decrease solvent retention in the reservoir. The anti-retention agent can be made pre-injection or can form in situ, and comprises an agent in which the solvent is readily soluble, such that the solvent partitions into the foam, colloidal dispersion, or gel, and out of the condensed water or steam, and away from the reservoir rock.
Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种降低ES-SAGD工艺中溶剂保留性的方法，以增加工艺经济性，其中将防留剂注入储存器以降低储存器中的溶剂残留。 防静电剂可以预先注射或可以原位形成，并且包含其中溶剂容易溶解的试剂，使得溶剂分隔成泡沫，胶体分散体或凝胶，并从冷凝水中 或蒸汽，并远离储层岩石。

Abstract: Methods and systems produce petroleum products by insulating a thermal hydrocarbon recovery process from heat loss to surrounding areas of a formation utilizing an insulating composition including a non-gaseous phase component introduced into the reservoir that is different from water and insoluble in the hydrocarbons. The insulating composition may be disposed in the reservoir adjacent to where the heat loss is desired to be limited. In addition, the insulating composition may be disposed in a thief zone and may also be from an agent activated to form the composition at such desired locations by selecting activation dependent on at least one of temperature, time delay and oil saturation.

Abstract: Thermal recovery of oils is improved by capturing waste heat from a depleted steam chamber using steam plus foam and an optional gas to carry low quality steam deep into the chamber where the waste heat converts water to steam in situ. Thus, overall steam generation needs and thus costs are reduced.
Abstract translation: 通过使用蒸汽加泡沫和可选择的气体从耗尽的蒸汽室捕获废热来提高油的热回收，以将低质量的蒸汽深入到室中，其中废热将水原位转化为蒸汽。 因此，需要整体蒸汽发生，从而降低成本。
