Increasing heavy oil reserves in the wilmington oil field through advanced reservoir characterization and thermal production technologies. quarterly report, july 1 - september 30, 1996... Technical achievements accomplished during the quarter include placing the first two horizontal wells on production following cyclic steam stimulation, completing several draft technical reports and preparing presentations on the deterministic geologic model, steam channel crossing and horizontal well drilling for technical transfer....
Experimental study of heat transfer in the steam thermal siphon tube channel... The values of temperatures in the steam channel of thermo-syphon tube are registered and the dependences of the coefficients of heat exchange on the power of heating element are obtained....
Mathematical modeling of hydrodynamic and heat transfer in a two-phase thermosyphon... It is found that temperature distributions in thermosyphon steam channel to the Y direction obtain monotonous character with increasing heat exchange coefficient to the environment
