“…In dozens of projects like cyclic steam, infill drilling, steamfloods, firefloods, etc., in heavy oil reservoirs found at Kern River, Midway Sunset, Coalinga, and Belridge, if the EOR process does well, it takes time for production to peak but the response lasts a long time. Greaser, et al 5 published a paper that took advantage of the repeatability of this phenomenon to design Kern River Steamflood expansions.…”

TX 75083-3836, U.S.A., fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractSeveral field demonstrations, field experiments, numerical models, physical models and analytical models have been reported in SPE literature and other forums concerning the applicability of Casing Vapor Recovery systems in steam enhanced oil recovery projects. Conclusion of this review is that CVR systems are effective tools in improving performance of steam EOR projects.

“…Getty Oil tested COR-ISOTM, a steam-diverter foam, on nine injectors to determine its effect on steamflood oil recovery. 7 Radioactive tracer surveys showed that in most of the injection wells, the steam-injection profile was improved. Average daily oil production of the test patterns also increased significantly during the foam-test period.…”

This paper reports on the design and execution of a field experiment on recovery of heavy oils by steamdrive enhanced by additives. The goal of this project was to study the effect of injection of a commercial surfactant (Suntech IVTM) and N2 on the behavior of a conventional steamdrive. Because the laboratory studies leading to the design and implementation of this field experiment have been referenced many times, we emphasize here the field data obtained in reservoir definition, monitoring of the experiment's progress, and production evaluation in a heavy-oil reservoir. Several standard and experimental analytical methods were applied, and their validity in the Kern River field test is discussed.Three slugs of surfactant and N 2 were injected at different rates. Analysis of the results shows a considerable improvement in oil recovery by steamdrive caused by the addition of surfactant and N2 to the steam. The changes in production behavior of the reservoir caused by the additives are analyzed and discussed. Although the economics of this project is difficult to determine at this point, it looks promising.
