Calculation and analysis of the first interface micro-gaps of the thermal production wells

Heavy oil is an important oil resource. The main development method is thermal exploitation—steam stimulation. Drastic variation in temperature will result in thermally induced micro-gaps in the first interface during steam stimulation. The existence of micro-gaps will cause steam channeling in the...
