The major objective of DEEP STEAM is to develop the technology required to economically produce heavy oil from reservoirs greater than 2500 feet in depth using steam injection. Current steam flood oil recovery processes are in general limited to shallow (less than 1000 feet) reservoirs because of loss of heat to the formation as the surface generated steam is injected at depth and because the high pressures and temperatures required cause failure of well completion components such as packers. To overcome these limitations, DEEP STEAM is developing two separate technologies: (1) methods of decreasing heat loss from injection strings and improving other well completion components; and (2) a downhole steam generator that will generate the steam and inject it into the formation at depth. This report covers accomplishments during the sixth quarter of the project and is divided into sections on Project Management, Technology, Field Test, and Supporting Activities.
