In Canada, CSS—also known as the “huff and puff” method—was developed by Imperial Oil at Cold Lake in the 1980s. In the same area, it is now also used by Canadian Natural Resources Limited, and a variation of the technology is used by Shell Canada Limited at Peace River. CSS is being piloted by Southern Pacific Resource Corp. at Red Earth and Baytex Energy Corp. at Harmon Valley and Cliffdale. A single well is used to inject high-pressure steam into the reservoir, both to heat the oil and to reduce its viscosity. The pressure dilates the formation, inflating the reservoir. As it cools, the reservoir deflates, providing a drive mechanism. Following injection, the well remains suspended for a required period of time to allow heat to soak into the formation. After the soak phase, the operation of the injector well is reversed to produce the oil. The hot oil is then pumped out of the well using conventional pumpjacks for periods ranging from weeks to months. These three phases together comprise one cycle. Steam is re-injected to begin a new cycle when oil production rates fall below a critical threshold due to the cooling of the reservoir.

CSS WATER TO STEAM RATIOS (refer to CSS project legend)
SAGD WATER PRODUCTION RATES (refer to SAGD project legend) PRODUCING OVER 10,000 BARRELS PER DAY
SAGD was originally conceived by Dr. Roger Butler, an engineer for Imperial Oil. Tests, first by Imperial, and later by the now-defunct Alberta Oil Sands Technology and Research Authority (AOSTRA) at its underground test facility in the Athabasca oilsands, proved the feasibility of the concept. Advances in horizontal drilling have allowed for SAGD operations from the surface. Two parallel horizontal oil wells are drilled in the formation. The upper well injects steam, and the lower well collects the water that the results from the condensation of the injected steam and the bitumen. The injected steam heats the heavy oil or bitumen and lowers its viscosity, which allows it to flow down into the lower wellbore. The water and bitumen emulsion is recovered to the surface by several methods such as steam lift, gas lift or by downhole pump.
