In-Situ Combustion: Myths and Facts

SPE Reservoir Evaluation & Engineering, 2022
Summary In-situ combustion (ISC) involves compression and injection of air into heavy/extraheavy oil reservoirs for enhancing production and recovery. Initially, ISC was very popular due to its high theoretical thermal efficiency, though more failures than successes in the 1990s made this process unpopular.

In-Situ Combustion : Opportunities and Anxieties

SPE Oil and Gas India Conference and Exhibition, 2010
Abstract To enhance production and improve recovery, normal wet In Situ Combustion (ISC) process has been applied by ONGC in the heavy oil field of Balol situated in the state of Gujarat, India. Injection of air @ 0.7 MMSm3/d resulted in increasing oil production from the field from 350m3/d to about 700 m3/d with corresponding reduction ...

Process Variables of In Situ Combustion

Transactions of the AIME, 1958
Published in Petroleum Transactions, AIME, Volume 213, 1958, pages 28–35. Abstract This paper describes the results of a laboratory investigation conducted to obtain data for an evaluation of the in situ combustion process as a method of producing crude oil from reservoirs.

In-Situ Combustion Model

Society of Petroleum Engineers Journal, 1980
Abstract This paper describes a numerical model for simulating wet or dry, forward or reverse combustion in one, two, or three dimensions. The formulation is considerably more general than any reported to date. The model allows any number and identities of components.

Factorial Experiments In In-Situ Combustion

Annual Technical Meeting, 1990
Abstract Factorial experimental designs can be used when investigating the effects of more than one factor on the in-situ combustion process. The factorial design readily permits investigation of interactions between the factors, and allows some compensation for the effect of experimental error.

MULTIPHASE, MULTIDIMENSIONAL SIMULATION OF IN SITU COMBUSTION

Proceedings of SPE Annual Fall Technical Conference and Exhibition, 1977
Abstract A two-dimensional, three-phase, multicomponent simulator is developed for in situ combustion modeling. The in-place oil is assumed to be consumed by oxidation, represented by an Arrhenius-type reaction equation.

In-Situ Combustion with Solvent Injection

International Thermal Operations and Heavy Oil Symposium, 2008
Abstract Production of heavy oil has always been associated with a lot of problems. A major one being the high viscosity of heavy oil due to which it does not flow easily into a producer well. In-Situ techniques like Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS), Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD), and Vapor Extraction Techniques (VAPEX) are not ...

A Canadian Perspective On In Situ Combustion

Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology, 1999
Abstract Field in situ combustion projects are traditionally designed using air and fuel requirements as determined from a laboratory combustion tube test. While these parameters are important, of greater significance in predicting field performance is the observed stability of the combustion process in laboratory ...

Near-Wellbore and Reservoir Effects in In-Situ Combustion

SPE Reservoir Evaluation & Engineering, 2015
Summary To operate fields under in-situ combustion (ISC), the near-wellbore dynamics and far-field conditions have to be considered. In the near-wellbore region of vertical injection wells, the flow advancement of the combustion front is characterized by high velocities.
