Abstract
Steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) method for heavy oil exploitation using horizontal wells has been done and successful in the field. In the similar concept with SAGD using horizontal wells, vertical well SAGD has been developed as alternative method. This well consists of two strings where one is as a producer on the bottom and the other one is as an injector on the top. This investigation makes different distance between injector and producer perforations gradually. The aim of this research is to make optimization strategy on the vertical well SAGD. The sensitivities tested consist of injection rate and distance between producer and injector perforations. Analysis result reveals that the impact of multilevel injector will decrease cSOR and improve the production rate on the same injection rate. If the process is combined with multilevel injection rate, the result would offer the most favourable option. Furthermore, the longer distance between producer and injector perforations will cause longer restrained heat in reservoir so that the volume steam chamber will be bigger and drainage radius will be wider.
