Well Interaction Detection

Challenge

• In oil sands, on adjacent wells, there is potential for materials to move between wells (“well interaction”)
• Goal is to detect and take action on well communication when it is:
  • Highly desirable – CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), Steam-Assisted, Gravity Driven (SAGD) in oil sands
  • Or undesirable – introducing frack material or stimulant into production wells, or water from poor performing wells to others
• Needed on hundreds of pads, and 1000s of wells
