..., a reservoir is modeled independent of the wellbore. However, this study models the reservoir and wellbore simultaneously to understand the interactions between them. This paper outlines two independent case studies, which are outlined below: The first study involved shortening the short production tubing...

..., genetic algorithms, and pattern search methods. The methodology is evaluated using a case study with vertical spacing, steam injected enthalpy, injection pressure and subcooling as the sought parameter values in a SAGD process that optimize a weighted sum of cumulative oil production and cumulative steam...
