This paper describes the use of a black-oil thermal simulator to evaluate the performance of an on-going steam flood at the Georgsdorf reservoir in the Federal Republic of Germany. An areal model was developed to represent about 300 acres of the steam flood and the adjoining area where wells are located on irregular spacing. Ten years of historical performance, including six years of steam injection, were history matched to calibrate the model. The ''calibrated'' model was then used to study the future depletion of the reservoir under several options. This information was used by BEB, the operator, to help make decisions about the future operation of the steam flood.
