Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage

Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) was first developed to recover bitumen from the Alberta’s Canadian oil sands. Bitumen is an especially heavy, tar-like hydrocarbon known for its adhesive qualities. The principal idea behind SAGD is that two parallel horizontal wells are drilled through a reservoir, one above the other. The top well is used for injecting hot steam into the oil sands. ...

Lost Cone Drilling and Standard Set

Drilling a bore hole is often combined with sampling and describing a profile. If both these activities are not necessary during the drilling procedure then drilling can be executed fast and efficient applying the so-called lost cone drilling method. Eijkelkamp Soil & Water developed a manually controlled set using an electrical percussion hammer to hammer the lost cone and the accompanying ...
