Abstract A new approach and a new related distribution system are proposed to address the issue of uneven steam injection caused by the different suction capacities of the used wells during the application of steam “stimulation”
methods for enhanced oil recovery. The new distribution system consists of a swirler, spiral dividing baffles,
and critical flow nozzles. Numerical simulations are used to analyze the flow-field and degree of steam homogeneity obtained with such an approach. The results indicate that a higher inlet pressure leads to better results.
Additionally, the internal flow field becomes more stable, and the More >
