Key words: SAGD, heavy oil, steam chamber, horizontal well, oil rate, analytical model.
In this paper the analytical model to predict the performance of steam-assisted gravity drainage is developed. The model is validated on the experimental data of physical model of the SAGD process. Theoretical oil rate prediction at the steam-assisted gravity drainage for conditions of heavy oil reservoir on the Ashalchinskoye field is presented.
