A steamdrive pilot was run on a light-oil reservoir at the Naval Petroleum Reserve No 1 (NPR1) in the Elk Hills oil field, Kern County, CA. The goal of this work was to establish a correlation between a documented growth in CO{sub 2} concentrations found in producing wells in the pilot area to the light-oil steamflood (LOSF); then to use a thermodynamic analysis of the expended energy to come up with an energy efficiency of the steamdrive.
