Abstract
A 1983 steamflood pilot project was abruptly terminated in the Edison Field in California. Recently discovered and reinterpreted<br>information suggests that the decision was unjustified. A critical review of the pilot and the original steamflood<br>simulation along with a comparison of actual field measurements make it clear that the steamflood should be reconsidered,<br>and in the process, greatly adding to the field oil reserves.
