A Novel Method for Calculation of Heating Radius in Heavy Oil Reservoir by Steam Stimulation Process

Abstract

Abstract: The flowing material balance method, a new method for reservoir engineering dynamic analysis, is presented and applied to the well test analysis of heavy oil steam stimulation, calculating the heating radius and formation contaminant factor in this paper. The case study shows that production and monitoring/testing data are comprehensively used to conduct dynamic analysis of heavy oil reservoir engineering by this method, with simple procedure and reliable results of calculation.

Key words: material balance method, heavy oil, steam stimulation, heating, radius
