    eSteam Downhole Steam Technology for Heavy Oil and Oil Sands Extraction

    Solution Developer

    Future Energy LLC

    Project Description

    Future Energy's game-changing downhole steam technology is branded as eSteamTM that extracts heavy oil and oilsands significantly less expensively than a conventional OTSG with a much lower steam-to-oil ratio from existing wells. There is no heat loss or reduced steam quality in the wellbore. Hot heat transfer fluid descends downhole that transfers heat to the feedwater to create high-quality 80% saturated steam or superheated steam in the wellbore then it's released out the perforations into the heavy oil or oil sands reservoirs. There are no moving parts in the wellbore.

    Support Requested

    The support required is for a Canadian oil operator to provide a well for a field trial and provide personnel to assist with the equipment setup and operations. The CapEx for the eSteam equipment is less than $850,000.
