International Classification:

F01K 7/30
F01K 7/44
F22B 1/24
F22G 1/02

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure can include a system for generating steam. The system can include a direct steam generator configured to generate saturated steam and combustion exhaust constituents. A close coupled heat exchanger can be fluidly coupled to the direct steam generator, the close coupled heat exchanger can be configured to route the saturated or superheated steam and combustion exhaust constituents through an exhaust constituent removal system. The system can include an energy recovery system that reclaims the energy from the exhaust constituents.

Inventors:

- Bedford NH, US
Raymond Clifford Skinner - Coral Springs FL, US
Alan Craig Reynolds - Novi MI, US

International Classification:

E21B 43/24

Abstract:

Various embodiments of the present disclosure include a system for reducing an operating expense and a steam oil ratio (SOR) of at least one of an enhanced oil recovery system and a gas recovery system. The system can include a boiler configured to produce steam. The system can further include a super-heater in fluid communication with the boiler, the super-heater configured to generate a plurality of super-heat levels in a plurality of sections of the at least one of the enhanced oil recovery system and the gas recovery system downstream of the super-heater, wherein the plurality of super-heat levels are implemented per each one of the plurality of downstream sections of the at least one of the enhanced oil recovery system and gas recovery system to reduce the SOR.
