Performance of Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage in Thin Oil Sand Reservoirs: Well Pair Configuration
Success of Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) depends on reservoir properties and operational parameters. Here, both areas are targeted and performance of SAGD in thin oil sand reservoirs with changing the well configuration is studied. Specifically,
