Steam Cavity Expansion Model for Steam Flooding in Deep Heavy Oil Reservoirs

Steam flooding is crucial for the development of heavy oil reservoirs, and the development of the steam cavity significantly determines the efficiency of steam flooding. Previous studies have elucidated the concept of steam overburden and pseudomobility ratio; however, the thermal energy loss in dee...
