ESTIMATION OF THE DISCHARGE OF A HORIZONTAL WELL IN THE PROCESS OF MINING A SUPERVISCOUS-OIL POOL BY THE METHOD OF STEAM-ASSISTED GRAVITY DRAINAGE

摘要

An analytical model for estimating the discharge of a horizontal well in the process of mining deposits of superviscous oils and natural bitumens by the method of steam-assisted gravity drainage has been developed. The results of calculations carried out using this model are in good agreement with the corresponding data of experiments on the physical simulation of the process of steam-assisted gravity drainage. The influence of the filtration capacity and the linear sizes of an oil pool on the discharge of a horizontal well in it was investigated.
