A NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SINGLE-WELL STEAM ASSISTED GRAVITY DRAINAGE PROCESS (SW-SAGD) [PDF]

Petroleum Science and Technology, 2001
Steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is an effective method to produce heavy oil and bitumen which are important energy resources. In a typical SAGD approach, steam is injected into a horizontal well located directly above a horizontal producer helping to displace heated oil.

Estimation of pseudo-relative permeability curves through an analytical approach for steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) and solvent aided-steam assisted gravity drainage

Journal of Unconventional Oil and Gas Resources, 2016
Abstract Fluid flow through the reservoir is defined on the basis of the relative permeability which essentially captures the preferential flow of any specific fluid. Utilization of steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) presents challenges to the conventional understanding of relative permeability due to the introduction of heat to the reservoir ...

Laboratory Evaluation of a Chemical Additive to Increase Production in Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD)

Proceedings of SPE Improved Oil Recovery Symposium, 2010
Abstract This paper describes a laboratory method used to evaluate an additive to enhance bitumen production in a steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) operation. This steam additive enhances bitumen production by accelerating the release of bitumen encapsulating the sand grains.

Numerical Simulation Of The Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage Process (SAGD)

Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology, 1996
Abstract Physical and numerical models can be employed together to better understand the SAGD process. When there are inadequate measured physical properties as input data, and insufficient built-in mathematical processes, it is beneficial to validate a numerical model by history matching physical model results.

Research Status of Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) Technology

Advanced Materials Research, 2013
The exploitation of heavy oil and bitumen attracts more and more attention. Compared with normal light oil, heavy oil is of characteristics as high viscosity, low mobility and difficult for exploitation as a result of higher requirement of mining. The developing mechanism and process of SAGD is introduced in this paper.
