What (who) is cyclic steam soaking - definition

COMMON METHOD OF EXTRACTING HEAVY CRUDE OIL

Cyclic Steam Soak; Cyclic Steam Simulation; Cyclic Steam Stimulation; Huff and puff; Steam drive; Steam flooding; Steamflooding

Cyclic peptide

PEPTIDE CHAINS WHICH CONTAIN A CIRCULAR SEQUENCE OF BONDS

Cyclic peptides; Peptides, cyclic; Cyclic polypeptides; Cyclic protein; Cyclic polypeptide; Cyclopeptides; Cyclopeptide; Peptide macrocycle

Cyclic peptides are polypeptide chains which contain a circular sequence of bonds. This can be through a connection between the amino and carboxyl ends of the peptide, for example in cyclosporin; a connection between the amino end and a side chain, for example in bacitracin; the carboxyl end and a side chain, for example in colistin; or two side chains or more complicated arrangements, for example in amanitin.

Wikipedia

Steam injection (oil industry)

Steam injection is an increasingly common method of extracting heavy crude oil. Used commercially since the 1960s, it is considered an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method and is the main type of thermal stimulation of oil reservoirs. There are several different forms of the technology, with the two main ones being Cyclic Steam Stimulation and Steam Flooding. Both are most commonly applied to oil reservoirs, which are relatively shallow and which contain crude oils which are very viscous at the temperature of the native underground formation. Steam injection is widely used in the San Joaquin Valley of California (US), the Lake Maracaibo area of Venezuela, and the oil sands of northern Alberta,Canada.

Another contributing factor that enhances oil production during steam injection is related to near-wellbore cleanup. In this case, steam reduces the viscosity that ties paraffins and asphaltenes to the rock surfaces while steam distillation of crude oil light ends creates a small solvent bank that can miscibly remove trapped oil.
