This project involves improving thermal recovery techniques in a slope and basin clastic (SBC) reservoir in the Wilmington field, Los Angeles, California. Advanced technologies to be employed include the development of 3-D geologic models, 3-D thermal reservoir well stimulation models, computerized 3-D visualizations of the geologic and reservoir simulation models, a detailed study of the geochemistry and rock-fluid interactions and studies of steam completion techniques
