[...] combustion in situ [...] Les limitations techniques à l'application de cette méthode sont essentiellement : - Profondeur de couche : on ne peut guère avoir recours à cette technique au-delà de 1 500-1 800 m à cause de la pression élevée [...] nécessaire [...] pour injecter de l'air dans une formation plus profonde. [Elle] ne sera pas non plus utilisée si la profondeur de couche est inférieure à 50 m (problème de tenue de la couverture à la pression d'injection). 1, record 2, French, - profondeur%20de%20couche
