A Study on Influence Factor of Steam Flooding Development Effect in Heavy Oil Reservoir

Abstract:

Steam flooding is an important method to improve the recovery factor heavy oil. Produce energy would consume a certain amount of crude oil in steam flooding; as a result, the evaluation of development effect of steam flooding should consider not only the degree of reserve recovery but also the heat utilization. In this paper, through the analysis of the mechanism of steam flooding, using reservoir engineering and numerical simulation methods, research the deposition, strata dip, steam injection rate, steam quality, production injection ratio and well completion method on the impact of steam flooding development effect in heavy oil.
