Development of a Mathematical Model for Heavy Oil Recovery using Heat Assisted WAG with Chemical Additives

During WAG operation, early breakthrough and gravity segregation of the gas occur which limits the efficiency of the process. To combat this, we propose to use Heat Assisted WAG with Chemical Additives. To simulate the oil recovery by the proposed technique requires formulating an accurate mathemati...
