{{#category_index:C|cyclic steam injection}} An enhanced recovery method where steam is injected into a formation to make viscous hydrocarbons flow more readily. Steam is injected for a time, followed by a soak period during which the heat energy affects the surrounding formation, and then the hydrocarbons are produced from the same well. The pattern then repeats. Also called huff and puff.
