To improve the numerical simulation calculation speed for steam assisted gravity drainage(SAGD) process in fracture-pore dual-porosity reservoirs,the adaptive mesh refinement(AMR) algorithm as well as the fracture-matrix equation decomposition approach under a dual-porosity(DK) model was proposed by using different grid sizes in different regions based upon the spatial variations of the temperature and phase-saturations.The numerical results show that the proposed AMR technique dealing with such nonlinear problems with the front is fast and can give good precision compared with the fine-grid solution.It is also shown that the steam chamber could reach the top of the reservoir,which is harmful to the thermal efficiency of steam energy for the SAGD process in fracture-pore dual-porosity reservoirs.
