Abstract
The "grid" method of study of gas reactions in vapor-dominated reservoirs indicates the temperature and steam fraction of the in situ fluid. When other observations, including steam flow, boron and are combined with the results of grid calculations, processes induced by exploitation such as cold recharge (natural or injected) and steam migration are clearly delineated. These interpretive methods are of great value in reservoir management of steam fields.
