Because of geological and operational challenges presented to oil recovery, more and more efficient methods which are economically successful have been searched. In this background, steam flood is in evidence mainly when it is combined with other procedures to purpose low costs and high recovery factors. This work utilized nitrogen as an alternative fluid after steam flood to adjust the best combination of alternation between these fluids in terms of time and rate injection. To describe the simplified economic profile, many analysis based on liquid cumulative production were performed. The completion interval and injection fluid rates were fixed and the oil viscosity was ranged at 300 cP, 1.000 cP and 3.000 cP. The results defined, for each viscosity, one specific model indicating the best period to stop the introduction of steam and insertion of nitrogen, when the first injected fluid reached its economic limit. Simulations in physics model defined from one-eighth nine-spot inverted were realized using the commercial simulator Steam, Thermal and Advanced Processes Reservoir Simulator STARS of Computer Modelling Group CMG / Atualmente, pelo fato de parte do mundo estar voltada para a ind?stria do petr?leo, as pesquisas na ?rea t?m avan?ado de modo a tornar poss?vel at? mesmo a produ??o em reservat?rios at? ent?o vistos como invi?veis. Em virtude dos desafios geol?gicos e operacionais apresentados para recuperar o ?leo, cada vez mais se intensifica a busca por m?todos mais eficientes e lucrativos. Neste cen?rio, a inje??o de vapor merece destaque, sobretudo, quando combinada com outros procedimentos visando assim, reduzir os custos, ao mesmo tempo em que aumenta o fator de recupera??o. O presente trabalho utilizou o nitrog?nio como fluido alternativo ap?s a inje??o de vapor a fim de ajustar a melhor combina??o de altern?ncia desses fluidos em termos do tempo e vaz?o de inje??o. Para tra?ar um perfil econ?mico simplificado do processo, realizaram-se an?lises com base na produ??o acumulada l?quida. O intervalo de completa??o e as vaz?es dos fluidos de inje??o foram fixados e variou-se a viscosidade do ?leo em 300 cP, 1.000 cP e 3.000 cP. Os resultados definiram, para cada viscosidade, um modelo espec?fico indicando o melhor per?odo para interrup??o do vapor e inser??o do nitrog?nio, quando o primeiro fluido injetado atingiu seu limite econ?mico. As simula??es foram realizadas em um modelo f?sico definido a partir de 1/8 (um oitavo) do padr?o nine-spot invertido, utilizando o simulador comercial Steam, Thermal and Advanced Processes Reservoir Simulator STARS do Computer Modelling Group CMG
