This professional short course book ($95 USD) offered by Integrated Sciences Group includes a comprehensive review of steamflooding and cyclic steam processes, well completions and subsurface equipment, and reservoir heat management principles.  Emphasis is given to practical methods and techniques that have been proven to be effective in improving the economic performance of actual steamflood and cyclic steam stimulation projects.

This book is designed for petroleum engineers, geologists, technical assistants and project team members responsible for diagnosing and optimizing the performance of steamflood and cyclic steam projects. 

Table of Contents

• Chapter 1 - Introduction

• Chapter 2 - Thermal EOR Fundamentals

• Chapter 3 - Developing a Monitoring Program

• Chapter 4 - Surface Distribution Optimization

• Chapter 5 - Subsurface Heat Utilization

• Appendix

Chapter 2 - Thermal EOR Fundamentals

Chapter 2 discusses steamflood and cyclic steam processes, well completions and subsurface equipment, and heat management principles.

Chapter 3 - Developing a Monitoring Program

Chapter 3 presents guidelines and procedures for developing both surface and subsurface monitoring programs. 

Chapter 4 - Surface Distribution Optimization

Chapter 4 presents data analysis and interpretation concepts that are important in assessing how effectively the steam is distributed through surface piping networks.

As a steamflood or cyclic steam project matures, modifications or adjustments to the operating strategy are often necessary to ensure optimum economic performance.   Chapter 5 discusses methods for evaluating steamflood and cyclic steam projects and operational adjustments and modifications to both surface and subsurface equipment that can be implemented to achieve better steam utilization and improve oil production.
