Analysis of Factors Influencing Velocity Difference of Heavy Oil Reservoir Gravity Drive

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the assisted gravity draining steam flooding and the development technology of drive drain compound, using computational fluid dynamics software ANYSY CFX to analyze the impact of the oil reservoir thickness、density of the crude oil 、oil viscosity and oil saturation on the seepage velocity difference. Research shows that: These factors have a significant impact on the flow velocity difference Research results provide reference for seepage study of gravity drive of heavy oil .
