Steam soak and steam flood are popular thermal recovery techniques for viscous oil. But when they are used for production, some H2S will form for heating oil sand by steam. The formation of H2S is complex when geologic conditions and recovery methods are varied. The H2S formed during thermal recovery are secondary. Through research we think that the reasons for the formation of secondary H2S are thermal decomposition of sulfides (TDS) and thermo\|chemical sulphate reduction (TSR). Examples of thermal recovery for viscous oil abroad have proved that the quantity of H2S formed is in direct proportion to sulfur content of crude oil. Moreover, if there are sulfate ions in the layer, the high temperature will favor the TSR. In fact, the formation of H2S has something to do with both reasons above, and the reasons are connected to each other. Since H2S is harmful, something must be done to prevent H2S from forming.
