Steam to oil ratio
The steam to oil ratio is a measure of the water and energy consumption related to oil production in cyclic steam stimulation and steam assisted gravity drainage oil production. The typical values are three to eight and two to five respectively. This means two to eight barrels of water converted into steam is used to produce one barrel of oil.
