The multireaction mechanistic model of one-dimensional combustion provides a means to explore combustion success at conditions not investigated experimentally. Such mechanistic models also provide the means to predict the fuel amount...

... OF THE MEETING. ABSTRACT The Silverdale Wet In Situ Combustion Pilot in the Sparky Sand, Saskatchewan, was initiated in 1972, and was in operation until Dec., 1980. This paper discusses the basic design of the fireflood and compares performance with the predicted behavior. The detailed operation of the pilot...

... to predict the production and consumption of chemical species during in-situ combustion. This new method of representing kinetics without the Arrhenius method is applied on one synthetic and two real kinetic cell experiments. In each case, the new method reasonably captures the reaction pathways taken...

... Abstract In-situ Combustion (ISC) has the potential to be the most effective enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method for heavy oil recovery. However, it is considered a high risk failure rate process since it is hard to predict the combustion reactions between complex crude oil and heterogeneous...

...-dimensional model). Both models are fully compositional based on an equation of state. In this work, we apply the models to analyze phase behavior sensitivity for in-situ combustion, a thermal oil recovery process. For the one-dimensional model we first conduct sensitivity analyses to numerical...
