Popis: Summary A series of laboratory tests was conducted to investigate the in-situ steamdrive process and its effects on fluid displacement in porous media. The experiments show that in-situ hot-water flash may recover up to 60% of moveable oil and that the residual oil saturation after flash increases with lower initial water saturations. Conventional simulation with external-drive relative permeabilities led to under-prediction of oil recovery.
