Abstract

Abstract: An integrated SAGD numerical simulation model is described by combining the modules of the newly developed 1D multi-phase flow in horizontal wellbores with the steam flooding numerical simulation model. The behavior of steam chamber is calculated with the simulator and the results show that the simulator is effective for the SAGD simulation with horizontal wells. Several important factors influencing the size and the shape of the steam chamber are analyzed for the needs of practical SAGD designs.

Key words: SAGD, numerical simulation, horizontal well, steam chamber
