Abstract
Analytical steamflood models have been around for over three decades begininng with Marx and Langenheims classic SPE paper in 1959. The availability of personal computers in recent years has resulted in publication of a number of more sophisticated models, which more accurately depict the EOR process. Unfortunately, along with this added ability comes added complexity and the danger of misapplication. Two of the more popular examples of this genre are by Jones in 1981, and Gomaa in 1980. Each has been reviewed in the literature several times over the years and quite often each has been misapplied. Thus to aid in application of these models, this paper investigates a few steamflood projects to illustrate proper use. It is not the purpose of this paper to provide an exhaustive analysis of any particular model, but to demonstrate that these models can yield very good results if properly applied.
