KEY WORDS: Heavy crude, stratified reservoir, fluids, wells, mobility, viscosity, steam soak,
steam flooding, numerical simulation.
One of the methods of improved recovery more employees for the extraction of heavy crude
it is the steam flooding, this technique is usually preceded by the stimulation process because
when applying it in a cold reservoir, the fluid does not have the conditions of mobility and
viscosity adapted to allow that the displacement with vapor is completely efficient. At world
level, they are many the fields of raw weighed in which the combination of these processes
has been implemented, in most of the cases obtaining very good you are you in the recovery
of oil.
The present grade project, seeks to carry out a study of the main parameters of the
stimulation process that they affect the acting of the steam flooding with the purpose of
determining the conditions under which this retrieval method presents a better behavior in
the production of oil. Among the evaluated parameters they are: injection rate, quality of the
vapor, spacing between wells and the number of stimulation cycles starting from which is
adapted from the technical and economic point of view to implement in the steam flooding.
By means of numeric simulation its was carried out an analysis of sensibility of the main
parameters that affect the processes, using for it a model of stratified location of heavy crude
with rock properties and similar fluid to the opposing ones in the field of the Colombian
Magdalena Medio, looking for with it to evaluate the possibility to apply the steam flooding
in the locations of heavy crude of our country.

3.1. MODELO DE SIMULACIN
En los ltimos aos, fenmenos como el constante incremento en el precio del
crudo y la ausencia de descubrimientos de yacimientos con grandes reservas
de hidrocarburos livianos, han llevado a que la industria petrolera evale las
alternativas posibles para recuperar la mayor cantidad de crudo de los
yacimientos existentes, en dicha tarea los avances tecnolgicos desarrollados
en recuperacin mejorada juegan un papel muy importante.
