The invention relates to the technical field of thickened oil
recovery, in particular to a steam-assisted gravity channel oil
recovery method. According to the channel
thermal recovery method, a horizontal section of a horizontal well is drilled into an inclined horizontal section, a tiptoe (the front end of the horizontal section of the horizontal well) penetrates through a vertical well, good communication is formed,
steam injection is conducted through the inclined horizontal well, and oil extraction is conducted through the vertical well. The practical problems that in the heavy oil
thermal recovery process,
steam injection heating is uneven, heat is wasted, the
recovery rate is reduced, the flow resistance of a horizontal well
steam injection tubular column in the horizontal section is increased,
crude oil is difficult to
discharge, and the operation pressure is increased can be solved, and the device can be independently used, can also be combined with a traditional steam injection mode for use, can be applied to newly developed oil fields and has a wide application prospect. The device can be applied to an old
oil field, can be used for drilling a new well, can also be realized by sidetrack drilling of an old well, can be used for injecting steam by using an
electric heating steam generator and can also be used for injecting steam by using a ground steam injection boiler, and is one of the optimal
modes for saving energy, reducing consumption, improving the recovery rate of thickened oil and converting a development mode in an old
thermal recovery area.
