Heterogeneity Consideration and Upscaling of elastic properties in coupled geomechanical flow simulation of SAGD
DownloadFall 2013
Geomechanical processes occurring during steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) thermal recovery influence petrophysical and rock mechanical properties of both reservoir and caprock formations. While geostatistical techniques provide multiple equi probable geological realizations for...

A sizeable portion of the Athabasca oil sand reservoir is classified as Inclined Heterolithic Stratification (IHS). IHS is a particular type of lithosome that is comprised of two alternating lithologies which are fluvially-dominated sand beds and brackish tidally-influenced mud beds. However, due...
