.... The resulted formation shear and surface heave will then be calculated regarding the location and timing of occurrence during the planed injection operations. The methodology has been applied to several steam injection case studies in Northern Alberta oil sands area, Canada. Our analysis indicated that three...

... data from field operations. We present an example from (i) a water and (ii) a steam injection project where over-pressurization has lead to unwanted extensions of fractures. First, using data from a waterflood project in the South Belridge Diatomite (Kern County, CA), we have built a neural network...

... SPE Members Abstract A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate formation damage due to steam injection. The investigation includes the adsorption and desorption of divalent ions and the transportation of scales through the formation. Several displacement tests were made at different...

... Abstract Detailed laboratory studies were conducted to study the effect of hot water and steam injection on the permeability, relative permeability, wettability, residual oil saturation and mineralogie composition and structure of a clay bearing sandstone reservoir in Southern Alberta, Canada...

... permeabillity damage during high PH steam injection about thirty six displacement test involving brine and different concentrations of sodium hydroxide solutions were conducted at 75°, 200°, 300° and 400°F. The results of these tests indicate that significant permeability damage occured in all cases...

... Abstract This paper discusses the results of laboratory studies conducted to determine the potential for formation damage from alkaline condensates during steam injection in a reservoir in the San Joaquin Valley, California. The paper also reviews various remedial treatment options...
