Abstract
A system for enhanced oil and gas recovery. The system can comprise a boiler. The system can further comprise at least two capillaries in fluid communication with the boiler. The at least two capillaries can be disposed in an injector pipe and each one of the capillaries can include a flow control device for controlling an injection of steam in at least one of a chamber and a well for enhanced oil and gas recovery.
Claims13
A system for enhanced oil and gas recovery, comprising:
- a boiler;
- and
- at least two capillaries in fluid communication with the boiler, wherein the at least two capillaries are disposed in an injector pipe and each one of the capillaries includes a flow control device for controlling an injection of steam in at least one of a chamber and a well for enhanced oil and gas recovery, wherein a flow of the steam is controlled using interpolation related to a control feedback versus a flow of the steam scheduled between capillaries to obtain continuous varying control across at least one of the chamber and the well.
A system for enhanced oil and gas recovery, comprising:
- a boiler;
- and
- at least two capillaries in fluid communication with the boiler, wherein:
- the at least two capillaries are disposed in an injector pipe and each one of the capillaries includes a flow control device that is a control valve, and
- the control valve provides for an automatic control of steam through each capillary in at least one of a chamber and a well for enhanced oil and gas recovery, wherein a flow of the steam is controlled using interpolation related to a temperature control feedback versus a flow of the steam scheduled between capillaries to obtain continuous varying control across at least one of the chamber and the well.
