1. A system for enhanced oil and gas recovery, comprising:
a boiler;
at least two capillaries in fluid communication with the boiler, wherein the at least two capillaries are disposed in an injector pipe and each one of the capillaries includes a flow control device for controlling an injection of steam in at least one of a chamber and a well for enhanced oil and gas recovery; and
a temperature feedback system that includes a plurality of temperature sensors, wherein the temperature feedback system is disposed in the at least one of the chamber and the well for enhanced oil and gas recovery, wherein:
the flow control devices control the injection of the steam, based on a feedback obtained from the temperature feedback system; and
the flow control devices control the injection of steam in order to account for a non-homogenous obstruction in the at least one of the chamber and the well.
