Cavitation Energy developing next-generation steam technology for EOR

Cavitation Energy Systems (CES) announced that they are developing a next-generation demonstration unit for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The company is also working to upgrade steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) and high pressure cyclic steam stimulation (HPCSS) using their cavitation-based technology. The improvements will produce clean, low-cost steam at the wellhead and eventually downhole (in situ) steam production. EOR and SAGD is used throughout the U.S. and Middle East, while CSS and HPCSS is applied mainly in Canada. Because of its low cost, a CES unit can also be used to extract oil from shale formations.
