MEG’s proprietary eMVAPEX process is a continuation of eMSAGP that involves the injection of a condensable gas to maintain reservoir pressure and reducing steam injection to near-zero.
eMVAPEX has the potential to further enhance MEG’s growth potential by reducing capital requirements, while minimizing environmental impacts to land, air and water. The eMVAPEX pilot is funded in part through government grants received from Alberta Innovates, Natural Resources Canada, Emissions Reduction Alberta, and Sustainable Development Technology Canada.
Inject condensable gas (CG) to:
Warmed bitumen mixed with light hydrocarbon is pushed toward infill well by pressure difference and gravity.
Freed-up steam is re-diverted to new SAGD well pairs to increase production.
