There is provided a process for treating a reservoir fluid-comprising mixture, comprising: producing a reservoir fluid-comprising mixture, including oil and water, from a hydrocarbon containing reservoir; at a pressure that is greater than atmospheric pressure, separating an oil-lean mixture from the reservoir fluid-comprising mixture; at a pressure that is greater than atmospheric pressure, effecting separation, from the oil-lean mixture, of a scale forming-lean liquid and a scale forming-rich material, by evaporation or ceramic membrane filtration; producing pressurized steam from the scale forming-lean liquid using a steam generator; and supplying the pressurized steam to the hydrocarbon containing reservoir for effecting mobilization of hydrocarbons within the hydrocarbon containing reservoir. |
