With the continuous exploitation of most reservoirs in China, the proportion of heavy oil reservoirs increases, and the development difficulty is greater than that of conventional reservoirs. In view of the important subject of how to improve the recovery factor of heavy oil reservoir, the thermal recovery technology (hot water flooding, steam flooding, steam assisted gravity drainage SAGD and steam huff and puff) and cold recovery technology (chemical flooding, electromagnetic wave physical flooding and microbial flooding) used in the development of heavy oil reservoir are summarized. The principle of action is analyzed, and the main problems restricting heavy oil recovery are analyzed The main technologies of heavy oil recovery are introduced from the aspects of cold recovery and hot recovery. Based on the study of a large number of literatures, and according to the development trend of heavy oil development, suggestions and prospects for the future development direction are put forward.

With the deepening of the degree of oil exploration and development, as well as the rapid growth of world demand for oil, heavy oil reservoir development is becoming increasingly important in the position in oil exploration. For reserves a great deal of ultra heavy oil reservoir at present, conventional thermal recovery technology is difficult to obtain a good development effect. In this study we use computational fluid dynamics software ANYSY CFX to analyze the impact of horizontal and vertical pressure gradient on the seepage velocity difference..
