The objective of Project DEEP STEAM is to support the development of technology required to economically produce heavy oil from deep reservoirs. The tasks included in this project are: (1) development of thermally-efficient delivery systems; and (2) development of downhole steam generator systems. During the period October 1, 1981-March 31, 1982, evaluation of several types of insulated tubulars was completed in an instrumented test tower, laboratory testing of a high pressure, ceramic lined, downhole steam generator developed by Foster Miller was completed at Sandia, and field evaluation of several types of insulated tubulars was initiated. Progress continued on the Min-Stress II packer concept at L'Garde, Inc., and work was completed on the extruded metal packer at Foster Miller. Field testing of the Sandia designed downhole diesel/air generator and the surface diesel/oxygen generator continued throughout the period. The test program on both systems was completed near the end of this period; initial efforts were started to remove the equipment from the field test site. 25 figures, 4 tables.
