Oil India Limited (OIL) successfully commissioned the Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS) Technology in the well BGW – 8 in Baghewala PML of Rajasthan for extraction of heavy crude oil for the first time in India. The project was commissioned under the guidance of Dr. John Belgrave of M/s Belgrave Oil & Gas Corporation, a Canada based consulting agency.
As part of the Pilot Project, CSS will be implemented in 2(two) more wells followed by field scale implementation and will also be applied to assess the potential of other similar reservoirs.
This technique will ensure enhancement of production of heavy oil from this field.
