...), various viscous crude oils (API=14-22), and synthetic formation brines were used in this study. Imbibition core tests at elevated temperatures up to 400°F were conducted to study the recovery mechanism by the steam injection process. Our study showed that oil recovery is dominated by hot water imbibition...

These forces allow the water to flow from...
