The Application of Stefan Problem in Calculating the Lateral Movement of Steam Chamber in SAGD

It is extremely important to monitor the development of steam chambers in reservoirs in the process of SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage). By analyzing the temperature data of monitoring wells, the extending velocity and direction of steam chamber can be obtained, which helps to regulate and imp...
