In this study, we use a more rigorous workflow that couples a geomechanical simulator to more accurately model the changes in permeability and pore volume that occur during high-pressure steam injection. This paper demonstrates a new approach for incorporating...

.... As an example, with propane as the solvent, production rates can be doubled that of SAGD if sidetracks are drilled every 100m. The energy consumption and associated emissions of such a process would be 70% less than SAGD. The performance can be further improved by localized heating in the proximity...

... optimized via simulations), while the average production rate is doubled. Past the SAGD phase, since no steam is injected and the condensed solvent bank is effective in blocking the lean zone water, produced water to oil ratio is very low. Once economic recovery is achieved, propane retained...

Because of the large amounts of water flowing with oil in the reservoir, there is a suppression of oil phase relative permeability, especially near the production wells, and this restricts the movement of oil and reduces the oil production rate.
