SAGD Support Surveys

Support surveys conducted for industry-leading oil and gas companies help streamline the process of exploration, measurement and extraction of resources. SAGD (steam-assisted gravity drainage) is an enhanced method of oil recovery that produces heavy crude oil. Steam deployed by horizontal wells in a reservoir is used to lower oil viscosity, allowing for faster drainage and recovery.

SAGD projects use support surveys to:

• locate opportunities to use SAGD technology
• improve existing oil extraction sites
• locate malfunctioning equipment
