Popis: Summary This paper describes the use of a thermal reservoir simulator to study steamdrive in a reservoir consisting of noncommunieating sand layers. The simulator was used to determine basic design parameters for steamdrive operations in the South Belridge field, Kern County, CA. Sensitivity runs were made to investigate the effect of various parameters—such as spacing, steam quality, and steam injection rate—on performance. Comparisons were made of the performance of a layered system with no communication between layers and that of an identical system with vertical communication.
