Understanding the Impact of Reservoir Low-Permeability Subdomains in the Steam Injection Process

Optimizing production in the mature fields of heavy oil reservoirs is still challenging. In most cases, conventional recovery techniques are not effective, although they are suitable for applying thermal recovery methods. Steam injection involves injecting steam into the reservoir where the heat exc...
