Key Message
1. The Grosmont Formation carbonate rocks host a giant bitumen reservoir.
2. Modern insitu technologies for mapping and exploiting sandstone bitumen reservoirs are applicable to carbonate reservoirs.
3. Models suggest that SAGD/solvent will be commercially viable at Saleski.

Grosmont Formation
First drilled in 1949 100/13-17-67-23W4
Described in 1952 by Helen Belyea.
By-passed pay: hydrocarbon saturated rock that is unrecognized, uneconomic or technically not able to be produced at the time of discovery.

Early Thermal Pilots• Vertical Wells• CSS, Steam drive, in situ
combustionIssues:• Karst Zones• Poor Seismic• Immature science,
– High pressure, low quality steam
• Operational issues– Fuel supply issues– Boiler reliability– Sediment handling– Inability to dispose of
produced fluids.

contribute
