摘要

Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is a commercially successful recovery process to produce heavy oils and bitumen. The method ensures both a stable displacement of steam and economical rates by using gravity as the driving force with a pair of horizontal wells for injection/production. Although several ways of improving the performance have been discussed in the literature, the well configuration employed in the process has remained the same as originally proposed by Butler. This thesis presents a study aimed at examining the applicability of different well configurations to SAGD process in Athabasca and Cold Lake reservoirs in central and northern Alberta, Canada.;The fully implicit thermal reservoir simulator, CMG's STARS TM 2007, with fully coupled wellbores was used to account for frictional pressure drop and heat losses along the wellbore. Three dimensional numerical simulation models were set up and sensitivity analyses were conducted to evaluate the effects of several process parameters. The parameters analyzed were vertical well spacing, well pair location in the pay zone, injection pressure, production well flowing pressure, and the length of horizontal wells. After optimization of the operating parameters an investigation of different well configurations was conducted by using these models.;The result of this work shows that the SAGD process performance in Athabasca and Cold Lake reservoirs can be significantly improved by using new well configurations.
