Simulação computacional de injeção de vapor em poços com recuperação avançada de óleo

Abstract

Oil wells that operate with steam injectionas Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) method often are built withthermalinsulated columns in order to reduce the heat loss during the steam transport to the formation.This dissertationintroducesand describesa computational approach to simulate theoilrecovery operation conditions in these wells, as well as ways to apply this approach to simulate transport cases of heat and mass and determine the energy and economic efficiency of the use of thermal insulation in these recovery and production processes
