This paper investigates the heavy crude oil properties and evaluates the steam-assisted gravity drainage(SAGD) which has become the method of choice for oil sand producers and it is therefore critical to optimize this process. Analysis has been done to realize the influence of different parameters on SAGD. The effects of parameters such as horizontal well length‚ steam quality‚ viscosity‚ porosity‚ permeability in both horizontal and vertical directions‚ injection well

Use of Cyclic Steam Stimulation technique for Enhanced Oil Recovery Cyclic Steam Stimulation(CSS)‚ also known as the steam huff and puff‚ steam soak‚ or cyclic steam injection is a process in which a combination of directional and horizontal wells are used to inject high pressure steam into the Clearwater Formation‚ which warms the bitumen oil viscosities(100-10‚000 cp) at reservoir temperature and lowers its viscosity thereby permitting it to flow into the well bore. . Figure 1 shows a typical

Additional research interest lies in reservoir modeling‚ simulation‚ engineering and optimization. My undergraduate research was about investigating the possibility of using Nigeria’s heavy oil as a steam boiler fuel. The objective was to look for ways to reduce the oil viscosity for ease of atomization

The Global Oil and Gas industry has experienced difficulties in recent years occasioned by the fall in the global oil prices. My current employer‚ Seplat Petroleum Development Company‚ operates in the Nigeria oil and gas industry and is not immune from the global problems mentioned. However‚ the company also face numerous challenges that locally imposed in addition to globally identified issues. The key issues that the company will face in the next five years are discussed in this essay. Perhaps

Drainage Drainage Systems in India Flow of water from a higher to a lower level is called drainage. It also refers to the river system of any particular area. The Indian River system is divided into two groups- the Himalayan Rivers and the Peninsular Rivers. The Himalayan Rivers They have water all throughout the year and originate from the mountains in the north. They flow through the mountains and form gorges. Himalayan rivers cover long routes before falling into the sea.

Gravity is the force that keeps objects close to the earth Not only does gravity keep objects close to the earth it also keeps the solar system revolving the sun Gravity was discovered by Isaac Newton Acceleration of objects that is due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s Also‚ according to Mr. Newton’s First Law‚ once the egg was moving‚ it didn’t want to stop. The container of water interrupted the egg’s fall‚ providing a safe place for the egg to stop moving so you could recover it unbroken

How exactly does gravity work in terms of numbers and formulas? How was gravity truly discovered and defined‚ and by whom? Gravity is universal‚ and it not affects earth and its inhabitants‚ but also the entire nebulous of stars and planets. Gravity is the force that pulls all things toward the center of the earth.

1-Drainage system- A drainage system is the pattern formed by the streams‚ rivers‚ and lakes in a particular drainage basin. They are governed by the topography of the land‚ whether a particular region is dominated by hard or soft rocks‚ and the gradient of the land. 2-Drainage basin-A drainage basin is an extent or an area of land where surface water from rain and melting snow or ice converges to a single point‚ usually the exit of the basin‚ where the waters join another waterbody‚ such as a
