Heavy Oil Production Forecasting Using Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage
摘要
In view of the production forecasting problem in Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) heavy oil development, this study proposes a novel SAGD production forecasting model. The research first introduces the model from the perspectives of overall framework, data sources and preprocessing, and model method selection. On this basis, a case study is carried out with data from a domestic oilfield to demonstrate the application of the SAGD production forecasting model, providing a foundation for improving the prediction accuracy. The results show that the constructed model can effectively capture the dynamic variation characteristics of production, with the average relative error controlled within 5%. Its fitting accuracy is significantly superior to traditional empirical models and numerical simulation methods. The conclusion indicates that the SAGD production forecasting model not only provides a reliable tool for production prediction in SAGD development, but also offers theoretical support and practical value for optimizing injection–production parameters and improving the efficiency of heavy oil resource development.
