Abstract: The correct determination of heating radius in viscous oil reservoi r is the key to analysing reservoir performance, and the basis for drawing up and adjusting development plan.Based on the flowing coefficient and the calcu- lated front and bottomhole temperatures in heating zone using viscosity-temperature curve equation of crude oil, the equation for calculating the heating radius is established.By relating the heating radius to flowing coefficient, it is suggested heating radius changes with time.
