Effect of horizontal heterogeneity on productivity of cyclic superheated steam stimulation horizontal wells: numerical analysis

Abstract In recent decades, horizontal well has been widely used for heavy oil recovery. Besides, new developed thermal carriers, such as multi-component thermal fluid and superheated steam, have been proved effective in some oil fields. However, when the length of the horizontal wellbore is quite l...
