Thermal simulation
Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003810
A numerical modeling technique that predicts the behavior of heat and fluid flow in a reservoir during thermal enhanced oil recovery processes. It accounts for complex interactions between injected fluids, reservoir rocks, and crude oil under varying temperature and pressure conditions. This simulation provides insights into steam front propagation, oil viscosity reduction, and overall recovery efficiency.
