To manage and develop these resources, especially for thermal recovery processes, numerical modeling is often used to design the operating and well placement strategies. Relative permeability curves are one of the most important parameters for modelling these systems. This is especially important in systems where the saturation of each phase changes over a wide range as is the case in steam-based recovery processes such as Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD). Initially, before SAGD, the pore space of the oil sands reservoir is mainly occupied by bitumen with oil saturation typically between 80 and 90%. After steam is injected into the reservoir, the oil is heated and mobilized and drains under gravity and is replaced by first steam condensate and then, as the chamber propagates further into the reservoir, steam and solution gas. This means that the reservoir undergoes a series of large changes in phase saturations as the recovery process evolves in the reservoir. Thus, the interactions of the phases and their flow characteristics, that is, the relative permeability curves, are an essential component of the physics of SAGD. However, for modelling SAGD, due to limited relative permeability curve data, it is often adopted from analogs or previously history-matched curves. Given the heterogeneity of oil sands reservoirs, careless adoption of relative permeability curves will lead to serious risk of unexpected performance. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of the endpoints of the oil-water relative permeability curves on SAGD performance by using numerical reservoir simulation. The results reveal that SAGD performance is sensitive to the values of the endpoints of the oil-water relative permeability curves. Given the range of variability of the results, it is recommended that relative permeability uncertainty analysis is always done during the simulation assessment of a targeted oil sands resource. Also, it is recommended that curves are obtained from multiple core samples of the target reservoir to reduce uncertainty and to assess the degree of heterogeneity of the endpoints.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
