Performance prediction of in situ combustion processes

In this research, in situ combustion performance calculations were performe d using different algorithms, which were based on oil recovery/volume burne d correlative methods. The correlations were based on field and laboratory combustion tube results. A computer method was developed and applied to dif ferent heavy crude oil fields. The results showed that an in situ combustio n process is applicable in these fields if the volume burned is 30% for fie ld 1 and 40% for field 2.
