Numerical Investigation of a Novel Bottom-Up Assisted Pressure Drive Process in Oil Sands Reservoirs with Shale Barriers

Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is widely applied to recover bitumen and heavy oil resources. Reservoir heterogeneity, especially the presence of shale barriers, continues to challenge the performance of SAGD. A novel enhanced oil recovery process, bottom-up assisted pressure drive, is propos...
