Oil well steam refers to the use of high-temperature steam injection to enhance oil recovery, a technique used to extract heavy or viscous crude oil that would otherwise be difficult to produce. Steam is injected into the reservoir to heat the oil, which lowers its viscosity and makes it flow more easily towards production wells. The two main methods are cyclic steam stimulation (or "huff and puff"), which involves injecting, soaking, and producing from the same well, and steam flooding, where steam is continuously injected into one set of wells to push oil towards other production
