OPTIMIZATION OF STEAM ASSISTED GRAVITY DRAINAGE IN VERIFIED INTEGRAL SIMULATOR

An integral model of the steam assisted gravity drainage of an oil field has been developed on the basis of the law of conservation of the masses of the phases and the law of conservation of their energy. A verifi cation of the results of calculations performed by this model has been performed, and it was established that they are in satisfactory agreement with the corresponding field data. It is shown that the final oil recovery factor for the Senlac oil field comprises 32% and that the optimization of the development system of the Fengcheng field increases its oil recovery factor by 7%.
