Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is an integrated enhanced oil recovery process and system for use in recovering relatively light oil from an oil-producing reservoir utilizing the injection of nitrogen produced by air separation in a cryogenic air separation unit and/or carbon dioxide produced by combustion in an oxygen fired steam generator fed by oxygen from the air separation unit. The steam produced may be utilized for suitable uses other than injection into an oil-producing reservoir, including heat generation and driving steam turbines, which in turn drive rotary equipment such as electrical generators, pumps and compressors.
