Thermodynamic modeling of water vapor influence on development process of the lower-Karmalinsky bituminous deposit by the sagd method
The development of the Lower-Karmalinsky bituminous deposit is currently made by the SAGD method. However, focusing on the reduction of bitumen viscosity, the problem of mineral phase’s transformation at the reservoir due to anthropogenic impact overlooked.

| Summary: | The development of the Lower-Karmalinsky bituminous deposit is currently made by the SAGD method. However, focusing on the reduction of bitumen viscosity, the problem of mineral phase’s transformation at the reservoir due to anthropogenic impact overlooked. In this work, using thermodynamic modeling, shown that the injection of superheated steam into bitumen-saturated sandstone layer will lead to the dissolution of calcite cement. |
