摘要

There is a major concern that the existence of thief zones suchrnas top water and/or gas cap overlying the oil sand deposit hasrna detrimental effect on the oil recovery in the application ofrnthe steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process Thernobjective of this numerical study is to investigate the SAGDrnperformance in the Athabasca oil sands in the presence of arntop water zone.rnThe reservoir model, STARS, developed by the ComputerrnModelling Group (CMG) Ltd. Has been previously validatedrnbased on a 3-D SAGD laboratory experiment with top waterrnthat was conducted at the Alberta Research Council (ARC). Itrnis believed that the numerical simulation captured the majorrnmechanism of oil movement from the pay zone into the toprnwater zone as observed in the experiment.rnIn the field-scale simulation, SAGD performance in thernpresence of confined and non-confined top water zones wasrninvestigated. The operating strategies under the conditions ofrnnon-depleted top wateron-depleted pay zones and depletedrntop wateron–depleted pay zones were considered. Numericalrnfindings indicated that: (1) there is detrimental effect of toprnwater zone on SAGD performance, (2) plugging of top waterrnzone with oil was not observed in this study for a top waterrnthickness of 8 meters, and (3) operating conditions that lead tornhigher pressure difference between the steam chamber and therntop water, either by depletion of the top water zone pressure orrna higher steam injection pressure, results in more detrimentalrneffect on the SAGD performance.
