Steam-enhanced recovery methods have been the overwhelming EOR champions since their inception in the mid-1960’s. About 6 of every 10 EOR barrels produced worldwide are the result of some steam process. Historically most well known in the San Joaquin Valley of California, large steam projects exist in countries around the world, including Venezuela, Canada, Colombia, Indonesia, China, and the CIS. Therefore, one would think that most of the basic problems, such as effective steam-distribution piping systems and accurate methods of metering steam into wells, would have been solved years ago. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In fact, this technology has been woefully lacking compared with its relative importance. This paper summarizes current efforts by the industry to improve metering and distribution of quality steam.
