Vertical-well-assisted SAGD dilation process in heterogeneous super-heavy oil reservoirs: Numerical simulations

PetroChina’s Karamay heavy oil reservoirs mostly comprise Jurassic deposits of braided fluvial facies that have a low porosity, extremely high bitumen viscosity, and strong heterogeneities within the reservoir. Steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) dilation start-up has been proven an efficient res...
