| Abstract | Our RADARSAT 2 InSAR monitoring of four SAGD oil sands sites show high correlation of surface deformation and steam injection. Surface heave is about 2 cm/year in the SAGD sites investigated and is not
influenced by the overburden thickness above the productive McMurray Formation. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
Our RADARSAT 2 InSAR monitoring of four SAGD oil sands sites show high correlation of surface deformation and steam injection. Surface heave is about 2
cm/year and is not influenced by the caprock thickness above the productive McMurray formation. |
