Applicability of heat-exchanger theory to estimate heat losses to surrounding formations in a thermal flood
Abstract Heat losses to cap and base rocks undermine the performance of a thermal flood. As a contribution to this subject, this paper investigates the applicability of the principles of heat exchanger to characterise heat losses between a petroleum reservoir and the adjacent geologic systems. The r...
