Paper presented at the SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, October 3–5, 2022
Paper Number: SPE-210333-MS
... Abstract Steam injection with foam presence (steam foam) was successfully implemented in the 1970's and 1980's. The purpose of having steam foam as a mobility control agent was to improve sweep efficiency by minimizing detrimental effects associated with steam injection processes...

... (FCD) will be introduced. This FCD technology can allocate accurate steam outflow into the reservoir formation and improve steam quality during steam injection period and can mitigate steam breakthrough from the neighboring wells during production period. In the first section, we will give a brief...

... would also affect the ultimate recovery (EUR). High steam injection rate results in high steam chest pressure (or temperature), and thus reduces the thermal latent heat, and thus decrease EUR. The paper has conducted a case studies for the demonstration: the Kern River Field (USA) with a long history...

... techniques that are relatively new to the reservoir engineer toolbox. The problem at hand consists of forecasting oil production in a mature onshore field simultaneously driven by water and steam injection. However, instead of turning to traditional methods, we deploy machine-learning algorithms which...

Paper Number: SPE-191392-MS
...Introduction Abstract Heavy oil extraction requires heat introduction to the reservoir to enhance the mobility of oil. While steam injection is one of the most reliable thermal EOR methods for heat introduction, it has several operational, technical, economic, and environmental limitations...

... of fluids caused surface heave, and sands dilation, which concentrated shear forces in weak layers. Wells failed at those weak locations. Similarly, a cyclic steam injection project in Fort McMurray experienced a blowout that was reportedly due to a casing failure induced by the steaming thermal forces...
