... For thermal projects, where steam is generated in boilers, transported through pipelines and injected into the reservoir through injector wells, heat losses occur over the whole journey from boiler to reservoir. The steam phase injected in the injector well, will lower oil viscosity effectively...

... positions along with different downhole completion options. After overcoming initial challenges, the pilot was successfully implemented in February 2024. Adequate measures were also taken to minimize wellbore heat losses through nitrogen blanketing. The CSS wells demonstrate significantly higher...

.... Based on previous 1-D flooding test results, this paper futher discussed the advantage of urea-SAGD process with series of 2-D experiment. After evaluation of heat loss effect for SAGD with numerical simuatoin approach, 2-D high experimental study on urea-SAGD process experiment plan were carefully...

... Abstract Wellbore heat loss is an important factor in steam flooding. It influences the magnitude and form that heat energy is injected into the reservoir, which impacts final recovery and project economics as well as flooding conformance in the context of viscous fingering of the liquid phase...
