A Review of SAGD-ISSLW

What is it about?

In this study, a comparison between SAGD and SAGD-ISSLW was investigated, and then effects of operational parameters and reservoir variables on SAGD-ISSLW performance were studied

Why is it important?

The results show that cumulative oil production and oil production rate of SAGD-ISSLW process increase significantly in comparison to conventional SAGD. Higher injection rate and lower well spacing result in higher cumulative oil production in SAGD-ISSLW. Among reservoir variables, permeability has a considerable effect on oil production and other parameters have a negligible effect on the cumulative oil production, but affect steam chamber expansion.
