... Abstract Steam injection with foam presence (steam foam) was successfully implemented in the 1970's and 1980's. The purpose of having steam foam as a mobility control agent was to improve sweep efficiency by minimizing detrimental effects associated with steam injection processes...

... (FCD) will be introduced. This FCD technology can allocate accurate steam outflow into the reservoir formation and improve steam quality during steam injection period and can mitigate steam breakthrough from the neighboring wells during production period. In the first section, we will give a brief...

... would also affect the ultimate recovery (EUR). High steam injection rate results in high steam chest pressure (or temperature), and thus reduces the thermal latent heat, and thus decrease EUR. The paper has conducted a case studies for the demonstration: the Kern River Field (USA) with a long history...

... techniques that are relatively new to the reservoir engineer toolbox. The problem at hand consists of forecasting oil production in a mature onshore field simultaneously driven by water and steam injection. However, instead of turning to traditional methods, we deploy machine-learning algorithms which...

... with steam injection. In situ production of heat is an attractive aspect of the ISC process. Significant heat losses at the surface, wellbore and formation owned to steam injection would be greatly reduced with in situ heat generation. In Situ Combustion is significantly more energy efficient in comparison...

...Introduction Abstract Heavy oil extraction requires heat introduction to the reservoir to enhance the mobility of oil. While steam injection is one of the most reliable thermal EOR methods for heat introduction, it has several operational, technical, economic, and environmental limitations...

... steam stimulation (CSS) test, was conducted to provide information regarding the applicability of steam injection to Eocene reservoirs. The pilot evaluated reservoir, production and operational factors associated with injecting steam into the First Eocene reservoir. This was followed in 2005 by single 5...

... of fluids caused surface heave, and sands dilation, which concentrated shear forces in weak layers. Wells failed at those weak locations. Similarly, a cyclic steam injection project in Fort McMurray experienced a blowout that was reportedly due to a casing failure induced by the steaming thermal forces...

In this project, only the Sand B reservoir was injected with steam ( Figure 2 ) with the intent to understand any interaction...

... Abstract A horizontal steam injection pilot project has been underway for the last four years in the Kern River heavy oil field located in the southern San Joaquin Valley of California. This pilot project was designed to address the following four prioritized learning objectives for horizontal...
