... flow is conductive; the heat capacity of the rock dominates: This is consistent with the low porosity and high heat capacity of dolomite. As a result, heat retention in the reservoir is efficient. gravity drainage dominates the recovery mechanisms: Thermal Assisted Gas-Oil Gravity Drainage (TA-GOGD...

... recovery mechanisms contributing to production performance and ultimate recovery of bitumen in these heterogeneous systems. It has been shown that bitumen can be readily recovered from fractured and connected open porosity that is accessible to steam through a gravity drainage process. Furthermore...

... reservoir. For this purpose, steam flooding was implemented in these two models separately. Then according to software options, all possible recovery mechanisms (viscosity reduction, steam distillation, thermal oil expansion and others) were simulated individually to measure the effectiveness of each...
