MADAGASCAR OIL
Multi Zone Steam Flood
Key Features
Proven technology and extensive industry
experience minimizes concern over technical
application in Tsimiroro.
Vertical wells deal effectively with multiple zone
layers and fault orientations.
Injection wells can be completed in multiple
sand intervals.
■ Steam injection and breakthrough is managed to
optimize heat application.
Much lower cost and higher potential recovery
for shallow thin sands than SAGD or other
thermal techniques.

Kern River field
produces 7,302

1904 Produces a field
record of 17 million

as much as Texas.
Field enters a period
of maturity, with
production gradually
declining over the
next 50 years.
