Hot Oil Circulation to Improve Oil Recovery: Results of the First Pilot

A major challenge to production and stimulation is to send heat from the surface to the reservoir to reduce the oil viscosity.<br>While steam injection is recognized as an efficient way to do so, to meet this expectation, Majus has developed the TOR<br>technology. The aim is to improve the productivity of a well and to increase the recoverable reserves by sending heat into the<br>reservoir by conduction with limited energy consumption and limited CAPEX. This is made possible with the use of a highly<br>insulated coiled tubing which links the surface equipments to the downhole production drain.
