oa NAPL Recovery from Low Permeable Layers

A one-dimensional model that describes fluid flow from low permeable reservoir parts exposed on one end to steam temperature has been formulated. There is a no flow condition at the other end. Heat penetrates into the low permeable reservoir by conduction. The temperature profile is obtained from an experiment designed to quantify product recovery from indirectly heated reservoir Aarts. Preliminary results show a poor recovery from non-volatile components .
