The Adverse Impact of Muddy Laminae on Conventional SAGD Performance and Improvement Strategy with the Multilateral Well Pattern by Yang Yu, Shangqi Liu, Yu Bao, Lixia Zhang, Jia Xie, Yang Liu, Guangyue Liang, Jiuning Zhou

“…The analysis conducted on a prototypical reservoir reveals that the steam chamber may expand slowly in some sections due to the poor capacity of heat and mass transfer, and the expansion of the steam chamber is relatively uneven along the wellbore, when the muddy laminae are existing in the formation. The influence level of the muddy laminae on conventional SAGD performance under different distribution modes is different, but the adverse effect is mainly reflected in the delay of peak oil production, the decrease in peak oil production, the decrease in steam chamber volume, and the increase in the cumulative steam oil ratio (mainly in early and middle stages of the SAGD process). …”
