Method for steam injection in steeply dipping formations
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6639481
Oil is produced from a steeply dipping subterranean reservoir containing high viscosity petroleum by injecting a fluid comprising steam into the lower portion of the reservoir and withdrawing the oil from production wells in an intermediate portion of the reservoir while injecting a fluid such as cold water into the updip portion of the reservoir to prevent loss of steam vapor therethrough.
