Cold production

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000745

A method of producing heavy oil without applying heat to reduce its viscosity. This technique relies on specialized pumps and sand management to bring the viscous oil to the surface. It is commonly used in unconsolidated sandstone reservoirs where thermal methods might be less effective or economically viable.
