Malgré son coût élevé, le déplacement par la vapeur paraît en général plus favorable que celui par l'eau chaude à cause de sa plus grande stabilité, de son meilleur coefficient de balayage et de la plus grande quantité d’énergie thermique transportée, par unité de masse de fluide injecté. 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9placement%20par%20la%20vapeur%20d%26rsquo%3Beau

Les procédés thermiques [de récupération assistée] sont appliqués dans le cas d’huiles lourdes, trop visqueuses pour être déplacées par les procédés classiques d’injection d’eau ou de gaz; il existe principalement deux méthodes : l’injection de vapeur et la combustion in situ. Dans la première, on injecte sous pression de la vapeur d’eau qui, en se condensant dans le gisement, en élève la température et réduit ainsi la viscosité de l’huile. L’injection de vapeur peut avoir lieu de façon cyclique [et] peut aussi s’effectuer de façon continue. 5, record 3, French, - injection%20de%20vapeur
