PRESENTATION 1The Andora Swan Lake SingleWellpair SAGD Demonstration Project Craig Pichach,Andora Energy Corporation This presentation provides a description of the Sawn Lake Andora project in the Bluesky formation in the Peace River Oil Sands region at 7-30-91-12W5 from reservoir characterization,facility design and construction through to operational results. The Bluesky formation at Sawn Lake has a low base reservoir pressure for its depth at 650m, 7-8API bitumen and good permeability’s in the Darcy range. Constructed in 2014and following a three month startup circulation the well pair ramped up over a year to produce 598bopd @ SOR 2.2 in January 2016. Upon reaching the top of the caprock steam optimization trials provided evidence of low SOR operation with lower steam injection and the producer at base reservoir pressure. Operational learnings from the project included reuse and operation of the Dover AOSTRA/Suncor Dover facility high temperature separation train which does not use dilutent for oil/water separation, re-completion of old wells for source and disposal well usage, hot bitumen trucking of bitumen to bring product to market and sustained operation with asmall focused operations team. A pilot expansion strategy to3000bopd provides for a potential SAGD battery analog using proprietary Andora technology which may be of use for other projects seeking to mitigate risk and allow for more organic development given market uncertainty.
