Abstract: AHeavier molecules tend to migrate towards the bottom of column. Gross assumptions in PVT experiment are that the system is in gravitational and diffusive equilibrium. Starting from an oil and moving up a column, the fluid will become lighter and tend towards a gas (condensate). Two types of grading are possible. The first one is of the fluid going from an oil to a gas with a distinct gas-oil contact at some unique depth. If this situation occurs, it will be predicted. The second one is the Fluid grading from an oil to a gas without a contact. This case corresponds to the critical temperature of a composition within the reservoir equalling the reservoir temperature. In compliance with compositional grading study, the API and some properties of the reservoir oil composition such as sulphur and CO2 contents vary with the reservoir depth. Most of the time the gas-oil contact (GOC) is named as the reservoir datum depth. In this paper, the study of compositional grading and reservoir oil composition variation with depth experiment by PVTi software with lab data has been achieved and some good conclusions have been gained.

Keywords: Compositional Grading, PVTi Software and Lab Data, Gas-Oil Contact (GOC), Datum Depth.

Abstract: Among the most important thermal oil recovery enhancement methods, it is possible to point out In-Situ Combustion (ISC) and Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) processes. The “Combustion Assisted Gravity Drainage (CAGD) process” as an oil recovery enhancement method is a specific combination of two methods: 1-In-Situ Combustion process mostly in terms of the process mechanism and the combustion reactions and also the injected gas type. and 2-Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage process mostly in terms of well configuration. Cross CAGD (XCAGD) is akin to CAGD except that the horizontal injectors are placed perpendicular to the horizontal production wells. By combining both gravity drainage and lateral displacement, XCAGD is able to hasten recovery, diminish steam requirements and promote economic potential compared to CAGD. XCAGD is better suited for several near producers with several perpendicular injectors to achieve a better development. It should be noted that near above kick off point of the vertical injectors with the horizontal producers in XCAGD, slotted liner embedding is pivotal. In this paper, a reservoir simulation of Cross CAGD (XCAGD) thermal enhanced heavy oil recovery using Foam with Steam injection has been precisely scrutinized and studied then some good results have been obtained. These good results encompass more recovery factor of produced oil about %3-5 derived from FOIP curves.
