The objective of project DEEP STEAM is to develop the technology required to economically produce heavy oil from deep reservoirs. The tasks included in this project are development of thermally efficient delivery systems and downhole steam generation systems. Field testing of insulated strings for improved thermal efficiency of steam delivery to deep reservoirs has been set up in cooperation with Husky Oil Company in Lloydminster, Canada. The instrumentation system for this test was successfully tested this quarter. Efforts to develop the liquid fueled downhole generation system for testing in deep reservoirs have continued. Legal agreement between Sandia and the City of Long Beach for testing of the downhole generator has been achieved.
