Based on physical modelling, this paper discusses the feasibility of injecting additives to control the conformance of the cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) and steam drive processes in the Biquan 10 Block of the Henan Oil Field. The lab test results show that waterflooding with the addition of a carbamide surfactant can decrease residual Oil Saturation by 4.7% and that steam drive with the addition of this same surfactant can improve the sweep volume and increase the oil recovery factor by 17.50%. Also, field application results confirmed that injecting this surfactant in the CSS and steam drive processes can increase oil production, lower steam-oil ratio (SOR) and improve the economic benefits significantly.
