Field demonstration of the conventional steam-drive process with ancillary materials. Final report

OSTI ID:6186089
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the potential of chemicals for increasing the sweep of steam drive and displacement of oil. The project was conducted in four phases: preparation and laboratory work; field tests; verification field test; and data collection and analyses. The first year of the contract was spent screening surfactants for their ability to produce stabilized foams at elevated temperatures, conducting injection tests in the laboratory, and preparing for the field tests. The next two years were spent on five field tests in California. The field test locations were chosen to address two major technical problems encountered in steam drive operations; namely the excessive channeling of steam through thief zones, and the progressive increase in steam flow through oil-depleted, already swept zones. This final report completes the analysis of the two initial field tests and discusses the remaining three tests. The report consists of two parts. The first part summarizes the result of laboratory tests and presents the five field tests and their results. The second part analyzes the combined performance of the two tests at the Midway-Sunset Field.
