摘要: A method to reduce water coning in viscous oil formations during primary production wherein a horizontal wellbore is heated by circulating steam therein thereby heating radial area near the wellbore. Near alters pressure profile Reduced inflow gradients flatten out sink associated with This reduces substantially which allows more be produced before high begins.
