Analysis and numerical modeling of hydraulic fracturing during cyclic steam stimulation in oil sands
Journal Article
·
· J. Pet. Technol.; (United States)
Cyclic steam stimulation in oil sands above fracturing pressure is analyzed by numerical modeling. A numerical model is formulated that simultaneously describes the fracturing process and reservoir behavior for different types of fracture geometry. The model is used to study the differences in performance expected for different fracture types. The comparison of model results with the data from a first-cycle cyclic steam operation shows good agreement for single vertical fracture configuration. 21 refs.
