Abstract Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is the main commercial technology used
for in-situ recovery of Canadian heavy oil and Bitumen. It is commercially proven and …

Thermal flooding is one of the most successful and widely used processes for heavy oil
recovery. The memory-based fluid flow model is effective in characterizing reservoir heat …

SAGD is one successful thermal recovery technique applied in the Athabasca and Peace
River reservoirs in central and northern Alberta, Canada. In SAGD, steam is injected into a …

We present results of a detailed investigation of the steam/solvent-coinjection-process
mechanism by use of a numerical model with homogeneous reservoir properties and …

Performance of steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is influenced significantly by the
distributions of lean zones and shale barriers, which tend to impede the vertical growth and …

Abstract Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) has been the preferred thermal method
for bitumen recovery from reservoirs in western Canada. To save energy and to be more …

To combat the challenge of high water usage and environmental foot prints, Steam-Assisted
Gravity Drainage (SAGD) operators are beginning to combine steam and non-condensable …

With the increasing demand for energy, an initial screening for heavy oil recovery options is
important. However, the calculation of the gravity drainage recovery of heavy oil is complex …

Steam chamber growth and propagation dynamics dictates the success of a steam-assisted
gravity drainage (SAGD) process, which is an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method for …

The purpose of this study is to develop a data-driven proxy model for forecasting of
cumulative oil (Cum-oil) production during the steam-assisted gravity drainage process …
