Background
To efficiently produce from a well, an operator in Canada needed to pump a high-temperature steam into the reservoir to decrease fluid viscosity enough to enable its movement toward the wellbore. However, the high temperatures that occur during SAGD operations can compromise ESP run life. With the reservoir recovery ratio dependent on the high injection temperature, the operator asked Schlumberger for a high-reliability solution that would improve recovery without compromising run life.
