Paper Number: SPE-193801-MS
... Normal Irradiance (DNI) of Kuwait. Given that the heating and pressurization of the subterranean reservoir typically transpires over a period of many months, EOR process is not sensitive to the timing of steam injection, and thus we can assume no steam injection during the periods with no sun. Linear...
