    Abstract: Steam injection networks are widely used in processes of Thermal Enhanced Oil Recovery (TEOR). It is desirable to maintain both the quality and flow rate of steam injected into the formation at certain specified values for optimum operation of the steam flood. This requires a surface distribution network designed to deliver uniform-quality steam to... Show More
