Abstract:This work delves into the effects of utilizing flow control devices (FCDs) to manage inflow and outflow rates on the performance of steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) wells. The focus is on the impact of FCDs on enhancing oil production and reducing the cumulative steam oil ratio (cSOR). A retrospective analysis is conducted using historical data from Canadian SAGD operations to assess the impact of different flow control strategies. Additionally, numerical simulations are performed for various reservoir t… Show more
