1. STEAM INJECTION
Steam injection is used in tanks containing highly
viscous oils. Steam not only displaces oil, it also greatly
reduces viscosity (by increasing the reservoir
temperature), so that oil flows faster at a given
pressure. This system has been widely used in
California, the United States, and Zulia, Venezuela,
where there are large deposits of viscous oil.
Experiments are also being carried out to try to
demonstrate the utility of this technology to recover
the large accumulations of viscous oil (bitumen) that
exist along the Athabasca river, in the central-northern
area of ​​Alberta, Canada, and the Orinoco River, in
eastern Venezuela. If these tests are successful, the era
of oil dominance could spread
