Steam Injection Seismic Monitoring Experiment

A buried receiver network has been installed in 1998 on a heavy oil SAGD pilot project in<br>northern Alberta in order to record one conventional 4D seismic survey every year. This network<br>has been used to evaluate the ability of a new seismic technique using permanent sources and<br>receivers to provide a fast indicator of the steam motion. The high repeatability of this technique<br>enabled observation of the daily steam progression.
