Estimating recovery steam drive (volume of steam in reservoir)

Input(s)

QiQ_{i}: Heat Injection Rate (BTU/d)(\mathrm{BTU} / \mathrm{d})

t\mathrm{t}: Injection Time (d)(\mathrm{d})

EhsE_{h s}: Thermal Efficiency of Steam Zone (dimensionless)

TiT_{i}: Injection Temperature (F)\left({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\right)

TaT_{a}: Ambient Temperature (F)\left({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\right)

Output(s)

VsV_{s}: Gross Volume of Steam in Reservoir (ac ft)

Formula(s)

Vs=QitEhs38.143560( TiTa)\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}=\frac{\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{i}} * \mathrm{t} * \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{hs}}}{38.1 * 43560 *\left(\mathrm{~T}_{\mathrm{i}}-\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{a}}\right)}
