CLD Technology, Inc. is developing additives to steam which are intended to increase both the economics and the amount of oil recovered in steam injection operations. After extensive laboratory research and development and 5 field tests, it has been concluded that the efficiency of the steam drive can be increased in particular reservoirs by the use of the proper additives. Continued research has demonstrated that the particular additives being developed do alter injection profiles and increase the ability of steam to transport the heated crude oil. Employing a hypothesis concerning the mechanism by which oil is displaced by steam, superior additives now have been developed based on the results of laboratory screening tests.
