Simulation study and economic analysis of steam-assisted vapor extraction for heavy oil recovery in thin reservoirs
Solvent-based recovery processes such as vapor extraction (VAPEX) showed a potential to produce heavy oil resources from thin reservoirs. However, their practical application is rather limited due to their low oil production rate. The main reason is a small heavy oil-solvent diffusivity that depends...
