Flow Characteristics of Steam and Gas Push in the Presence of Heat Thief Zones Overlying Oil Sands Deposits

This paper presents the effects of the top water-bearing zone on the performance of the steam and gas push, i.e., nitrogen as a non-condensable gas injected with steam into an oil sands deposit. The flow characteristics of fluid mixtures are examined in the presence of different-sized water-bearing...
