Abstract
A system for improving a steam oil ratio (SOR) includes a direct steam generator (DSG) boiler fluidly coupled with a downhole portion of a steam system via at least a DSG outlet, wherein the DSG boiler is configured to schedule super-heat delivered to the downhole portion to optimize the SOR associated with the system.
Claims20
A system for improving a steam oil ratio (SOR) comprising:
- a boiler fluidly coupled with a downhole portion of a steam system via at least an outlet, wherein the boiler is configured to schedule super-heat delivered to the downhole portion to optimize the SOR associated with the system, wherein an amount of super-heat is configured to be adjusted based on a determination of the SOR associated with the system.
A system for improving a steam oil ratio (SOR), comprising:
- a direct steam generator (DSG) boiler;
- a super-heater fluidly coupled with the DSG boiler;
- and
- a downhole portion of a steam system fluidly coupled with the super-heater, wherein at least one of the DSG boiler and the super-heater are configured to schedule super-heat delivered to the downhole portion to optimize the SOR associated with the system, wherein an amount of superheat is configured to be scheduled based on a determined SOR associated with the system.

A system for improving a steam oil ratio (SOR) comprising:
- a direct steam generator (DSG) boiler, wherein the DSG boiler is run in a manner to create saturated steam;
- a multiphase close-coupled heat exchanger fluidly coupled with the DSG boiler;
- a super-heater fluidly coupled with the DSG boiler and multiphase close-coupled heat exchanger;
- and
- a downhole portion of a steam system fluidly coupled with the super-heater, wherein the super-heater is configured to schedule super-heat delivered to the downhole portion to optimize the SOR associated with the system, and wherein an amount of superheat is configured to be scheduled based on a determined SOR associated with the system.
