An advanced scaling model system for non-condensable gas steam assisted gravity drainage recovery process
Physical modeling is critical to study the performance of certain operation in heavy oil reservoirs. A well-designed experiment should guarantee the information gathered from lab would be applied to predict the thermal process in the field. To meet this requirement, the initial and boundary conditio...

description | Physical modeling is critical to study the performance of certain operation in heavy oil reservoirs. A well-designed experiment should guarantee the information gathered from lab would be applied to predict the thermal process in the field. To meet this requirement, the initial and boundary condition similarity between lab and field should be satisfied. It is reasonable to follow certain scaling criteria to fabricate the physical model. In addition to these conventional guidelines, this paper makes following recommendations to ensure a successful thermal recovery experiment, • To control and mitigate the steam channeling between the sand-pack and apparatus wall, the back wall is designed as it can be pushed enough to increase contact pressure. • Heat loss should be handled carefully, which impacting steam chamber growing and causing heat accumulation around the model. • A data acquisition system, based on PXI platform and Labview software, for the thermal recovery experiments had been proved valuable in evaluating the spreading progress of steam chamber. |
