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. A demonstration running test of a multi-string downhole generator was conducted this quarter. Tests and evaluation of various configurations of downhole generator systems were performed in preparation for the next field test. The site for the Phase II field test operation was identified as the Wilmington Field in the Los Angeles Basin; the test will be conducted in cooperation with the City of Long Beach.
