Thermal recovery methods are typically required for heavy oil, extra heavy oil, and bitumen reservoirs because of the high fluid densities and viscosities, and the complicated physics involved when massive changes take place in reservoir temperature and calorific energy. Eclipse Thermal software uses an implicit, multilevel hierarchy to generate a crossflow well model for accurate modeling. It allows analysis of oil, gas, water, and solids (useful with chemical reactions) behaviors, as well as dead oil or live oil models. It models the flow of steam and fluids, the flow of hot or cold water, in situ combustion, and foamy oils.
