Velocity models

Figure 14 shows three 1-D velocity profiles. Each one is identical except for the reservoir zone containing either: original cold oil, steam, or the high-pressure front. The velocity model before steam injection is shown in Figure 15, and after steam injection in Figure 16. Note that after steam injection there is a large low velocity zone near the injector, and a high-velocity high-pressure front propagating in an annulus away from the injector.
