This paper describes conversion from steam stimulation to steamdrive in a high-viscosity oil reservoir. Field testing of operating strategies helped to develop conversion and operating criteria. The successful steamdrive performance was attributed to reservoir preheating and injector/producer interwell communication that were established during cyclic operations. Steam drag and gravity drainage are the main recovery mechanisms.
