Fracture dimensions and process mechanisms resulting from cyclic steam stimulation above fracturing pressure in German and Canadian tar sands are analyzed using numeric modeling. Fracture radii of 100 ft and half-lengths of 250 ft with fracture surface areas of 30,000 to 70,000 sq ft were sufficient to reproduce steam injectivity into reservoirs containing highly viscous oil and negligible amounts of movable water saturation.
