Feasibility and Economics of Cogeneration in California's Thermal Enhanced Oil Recovery Operations.

摘要

The large quantities of steam injected into oil wells to increase production by the process of thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) can also be used to generate electricity at some sites. This report determined which California oil fields are suitable for cogeneration,the generation capacity possible,the appropriate fuel,and the economics of coal use for noncogeneration steam production at oil fields.
