There are a number of
benefits in implementing ELift:
Improved Recovery Performance
Pump Benefits
Operational Benefits
Cost Savings
Kyoto Compliance
An assessment of
SAGD Steam-Trap Subcool Issues shows that low subcool values
are vital, especially at lower pressures, for improved recovery
performance and maximum steam chamber development.
Lower pressures magnify problems for standard bottom-hole
pump configurations.
ELift has been
field demonstrated.
