... that careful screening of foaming agents is necessary to avoid unpleasant surprises. Introduction Steam drive is one of the most effective methods for increasing the recovery of heavy oils beyond what can be produced by the 'huff-n-puff' technique. Unfortunately the efficiency of the steam drive process...

... are presented to verify the validity of the results. Introduction Steam drive is one of the most common and efficient methods to displace heavy oil from reservoirs. This thermal recovery process is complicated, involving simultaneous heat and mass transfer, chemical reactions, and physical changes. The major...
