... as the weighted arithmetic average and the permeability of the wellblock was determined using a thickness averaging method. Ding 17 proposed a scale-up procedure to calculate the equivalent coarse grid transmissibility for the linear flow region based on the results of simulation on fine grid. For radial flow...

... accumulated in the reservoir and the thickness of the water sand (bottom or overlying water). Oil recovery in the SAGD process is hindered when water sand is present. However, the presence of a bottom water layer has lesser impact on recovery than the case where an overlying water layer is present...

... propane-plus bank to be replaced by a more economic ethane-plus blend. Under solvent recycling, the mixing zone would be stabilized (balanced injection and withdraw) with its thickness increases from zero at the injector to the maximum at the producer. The design problem is thus reduced to finding...

... agreement with those of the experiment for oil production rate, cumulative oil production, steam chamber and temperature contours in the model. Effects of varying several physical conditions, such as steam injection pressure, vertical separation between injection and production wells, and model thickness...

... problems and to determine optimum length of the stinger. This laboratory investigation used a large Hele-Shaw cell with water and refined oil as the fluids. The experiment was run for various oil viscosity, oil column thickness, stinger lengths, and production rates to study water cone development under...

... in recent geological time which have put ice sheets of a couple of kilometers thickness on top of these reservoirs2. These have loaded the sands equivalently to being buried at least twice as deep as which they are currently. This means these sandstones are very insensitive to decreases fu pore pressure...

..., where a bottom water path is employed for bitumen mobilization and production, In some areas of the Athabasca oil sands, a communicating bottom water layer of varying thickness is present, that could utilize the techniques developed in his study. It was found that the bitumen recovery depends...

... are 1347 million cu. m. of oil and 1865 billion cu. m. of gas (l) . Numerous encouraging hydrocarbon discoveries have been made in the Beaufort Sea since offshore drilling commenced in 1973. The commerciality of reserves will depend on many factors such as pay thickness and other reservoir characteristics...

... the extent of bottom water was less critical than in steam injection. Cyclic steam stimulation performed poorly in the reported field tests, except in one case where the bottom water was less than one-fifth of the oil zone thickness. Steamfloods under bottom water conditions are few and far between...
