Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS)

Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS) Overview

Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS), or the "Huff and Puff" method, is a proven Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technique used for extracting heavy oil and bitumen. The process involves steam injection to reduce oil viscosity, followed by a soaking phase and oil extraction. Spectron Group provides end-to-end CSS solutions, ensuring high recovery rates, operational efficiency, and environmental compliance.

Process / Working

Steam Injection ("Huff") – High-pressure steam is injected into the reservoir to heat the oil, reduce viscosity, and improve flow.
Soaking Phase – The well is shut for a few days, allowing the heat to spread, enhancing oil mobility.
Oil Production ("Puff") – Heated, low-viscosity oil is pumped to the surface using artificial lift systems.
Water Treatment & Recycling – Produced water is filtered and treated for reuse in steam generation.
Emissions Control – Flare gas recovery and carbon capture reduce environmental impact.
Continuous Monitoring & Optimization – AI-driven analytics ensure efficient steam cycles and maximize oil recovery.

Spectron Group's CSS solutions offer a cost-effective, high-recovery alternative to conventional methods, ensuring long-term reservoir productivity.
