Optimized drilling procedures, incorporating improved directional drilling and ranging systems and slant drilling, allow operators to use steam - assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) wells for recovering bitumen.

case scenario, total field-gate supply costs are $44.75/bbl of bitumen or synthetic crude oil for steam - assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) production, $89.62/bbl for mining integrated with upgrading, and $61.05/bbl for stand
