Significant effect of compositional grading on SAGD performance in a fractured carbonate heavy oil reservoir

Abstract In reservoir simulation, the fluid composition is usually assumed uniform for the whole reservoir, while in many reservoirs, oil and gas composition changes with depth. This phenomenon which is known as compositional grading could be significant in heavy and super heavy oil reservoirs. In t...
