Abstract
This project investigates the influence of wormhole formation processes on cold heavy oil production with sand (CHOPS) well performance. Wormhole formation processes are simulated by means of a commercial simulator based upon the concepts of variation of wormhole geometry over time, and pressure drop along a wormhole.
