Petroleum Training and Technical Services has conducted a combined experimental and analytical investigation of the steam recovery of light oil systems. A series of cores ranging in size from 44 cm to 121 cm were used as the experimental core medium. These cylindrical cores were fabricated and set up inside an insulated medium to simulate the overburden and underburden. Superheated Steam was used as the displacing medium. In the analytical study several computer models were developed by integrating existing software concepts to provide analytical tools for examining the response of intermittent injection and continuous drive mechanisms. 49 figures, 5 tables.
