Cyclic gas/steam stimulation of heavy-oil wells

Journal Article · · J. Pet. Technol.; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2118/8911-PA· OSTI ID:5493654
Injecting air with steam nearly doubled oil production from three cyclic steam stimulations in a California reservoir producing 11/degree/API (0.99-g/cm/sup 3/) oil. Computer model studies reveal several reasons for better oil recovery, including greater pressure drawdown, gas drive of heated oil near the well, and trapped residual gas deep in the reservoir. 10 refs.
