This paper describes the steam-stimulation process, discusses where ~t IS applicable, and why it succeeds and fails. Field data for three separate projects in California are presented. Oil recovery from a single cycle of injection ancl production is discussed and a theoretical method of calculating oil recovery is shown with an example. The major components of steam-stimulation costs are fisted A generalized correlation of reservoir- oil viscosity vs. temperature is presented In a form convenient for use in steam-stimulation work.
