The setting afire of some portion of the reservoir in order that the gases produced by combustion will drive oil ahead of it to the producing wells. 6, record 4, English, - in%20situ%20combustion
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
In this process, air is injected into the reservoir through an injection well to support combustion. The air is usually preheated at the sand face of the injection well by a downhole heater. When the desired amount of air is injected, the oil in the formation is ignited. This creates a burning front, which moves radially outward from the injection well. Air is continually injected, combining with some of the hydrocarbons in the formation to maintain combustion and to provide the thermal energy for the process. 4, record 4, English, - in%20situ%20combustion
