- •
Steam fracturing in cyclic steam stimulation dilates the oil sand formation.
- •
Fracturing improves oil mobility by raising permeability and reducing oil viscosity.
- •
Steam condensate fractures formation pressurized by steam vapour upstream.
- •
Dilation associated with steam fracturing improves oil production.
