Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000920

A thermal enhanced oil recovery method that involves injecting steam into a well for a period, allowing it to soak, and then producing oil from the same well. This cyclic process heats the heavy oil in the reservoir, reducing its viscosity and improving its mobility towards the wellbore. The cycle typically consists of steam injection, a soak phase, and a production phase, repeated multiple times.
