In thermal recovery processes, Opsens' OPP-W fiber optic sensor provides oil sands producers with real-time downhole pressure
and temperature information about their SAGD wells during operation. The ability to accurately control bottomhole pressure at high
temperatures for artificial lift systems such as electrical submersible pumps allows SAGD operators to improve steam/oil ratios and
reduce operating costs. For multiple well operations, the technology provides millions of dollars in savings by reducing water
treatment costs, resulting in optimization of natural gas consumption as it pertains to steam generation and enhancing the run time
of artificial lift systems.
