Book excerpt: In-situ combustion (ISC), also known as fire flooding, is not a new thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique. It is a potential alternative for heavy oil production when other thermal EOR methods are not adequate in certain reservoir conditions. A number of successful ISC application examples have been amply covered in the literature; however, the technique is still not widely used. Additional research on the influence of heterogeneities on ISC performance is required to improve predictability of this promising EOR technique. To investigate the influence of initial water saturation on ISC performance, seven combustion tube experiments were conducted. The experimental investigations were performed on a Canadian bitumen sample (7.5 °API) from the Peace River region. During the experimental runs, initial bitumen saturation varied between 31.23% and 54.86%. Initial water saturation varied between 0% and 36.87%. Temperature distribution along the combustion tube and effluent gas composition were recorded for each run and further analyzed. ISC dynamics were also investigated in terms of liquid production and postmortem analysis. Combustion front dynamics were interpreted with a CT scanner and a numerical simulation was used to obtain a chemical reaction scheme for one of the experiments. The results showed that initial water saturation is a critical parameter to determine the success of dry forward combustion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermal Methods, Volume Two, the latest release in the Enhanced Oil Recovery series, helps engineers focus on the latest developments in this fast-growing area. In the book, different techniques are described in addition to the latest technologies in data mining and hybrid processes. Supported field case studies are included to illustrate a bridge between research and practical applications, making it useful for both academics and practicing engineers. Structured to start with thermal concepts and steam flooding, the book's editors then advance to more complex content, guiding engineers into areas such as hybrid thermal methods and edgier technologies that bridge solar and nuclear energy. Supported by a full spectrum of contributors, this book gives petroleum engineers and researchers the latest research developments and field applications to drive innovation for the future of energy. - Presents the latest understanding surrounding the updated research and practical applications specific to thermal enhanced oil recovery methods - Provides an analysis of editors' research on available technology, including hybrid thermal-solvent processes and dual pipe configurations - Teaches about additional methods, such as data mining applications, and economic and environmental considerations
