Questions and Answers
What is the primary difference between cyclic steam injection and steam flooding as thermal EOR methods?
Cyclic steam injection involves injecting steam in cycles, while steam flooding involves continuous steam injection
What is the main purpose of in-situ combustion as a thermal EOR method?
To create a combustion front that heats the reservoir and reduces oil viscosity
What is the main difference between steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) and electrical heating as thermal EOR methods?
SAGD involves injecting steam into the reservoir, while electrical heating involves using electrodes to heat the reservoir
