A simple parameter to optimize SAGD operating conditions
The steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process simulations described in this study have been optimized to have the lowest cumulative steam:oil ratio (CSOR), highest recovery factor (RF) and highest calendar day oil rate (CDOR) in order to obtain optimal operation conditions. In addition, net present value (NPV) calculations were performed for each simulation case to take the time factor into account. A simple thermal efficiency parameter (STEP), based on CSOR, CDOR and RF for the time corresponding to SOR = 4, was developed to evaluate the performance of a SAGD project under optimized conditions. A linear relationship was found to exist between STEP and NPV, with a correlation coefficient in excess of 0.96 for most of the cases studied. For each simulation case, highest values of NPV and STEP indicated optimum SAGD operating conditions.
