Abstract
This article expounds an innovative technology for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) based on solar thermal plant. First of all the authors dwell on the problem of the replacement of conventional steam generators operating with fossil fuels by the solar field of parabolic trough concentrators. Then they discuss the impact of intermittent steam injection on overall efficiency of oil production, related to the cyclical nature of the incoming solar energy. Next they analyze the optical and thermal losses in parabolic trough concentrator. The purpose of this article is to show the possibility of using the vast potential of solar energy in Venezuela in order to produce steam with parabolic trough concentrator solar plant.
