Investigation on Swelling Performance of Oil Sands and Its Impact on Oil Production during SAGD Processes

SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage) is used in Canadian fields where there are interlayers that impede steam chamber development and thus impede production. Many experiments have been conducted on the effect of interlayers on oil recovery. However, the swelling characteristics of interlayers unde...
