Resumen
In Brazilian Northeast there are reservoirs with heavy oil, which use steam flooding as a
recovery method. This process allows to reduce oil viscosity, increasing its mobility and
consequently its oil recovery. Steam injection is a thermal method and can occurs in
continues or cyclic form. Cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) can be repeated several times.
Each cycle consisting of three stages: steam injection, soaking time and production
phase. CSS becomes less efficient with an increase of number of cycles. Thus, this work
aims to study the influence of compositional models in cyclic steam injection and the
effects of some parameters, such like: flow injection, steam quality and temperature of
steam injected, analyzing the influence of pseudocomponents numbers on oil rate,
cumulative oil, oil recovery and simulation time. In the situations analyzed was
compared the model of fluid of three phases and three components known as Blackoil .
Simulations were done using commercial software (CMG), it was analyzed a
homogeneous reservoir with characteristics similar to those found in Brazilian
Northeast. It was observed that an increase of components number, increase the time
spent in simulation. As for analyzed parameters, it appears that the steam rate, and
steam quality has influence on cumulative oil and oil recovery. The number of
components did not a lot influenced on oil recovery, however it has influenced on gas
production
