Gas-assisted Gravity Drainage (GAGD) Process for Improved Oil Recovery
Detailed Technology Description
The Gas-Assisted-Gravity Drainage (GAGD) process rapidly and inexpensively recovers large amounts of oil trapped in reservoirs after primary recovery and secondary waterflood techniques. More than 60 percent of the original-oil-in-place (OOIP) remains unrecovered in America’s oilfields after the application of primary and secondary oil recovery technologies. This amounts to 407 billion barrels of trapped oil in onshore reservoirs alone within the US. The GAGD process has shown recovery rates of 65 to 90 percent of the stranded oil.
