Özet

In situ combustion experiments conducted on a three-dimensional (3D) semi-scaled physical model that represents one fourth of a repeated five spot pattern were modeled. Four chemical reactions were considered, including, cracking of heavy oil to light oil and coke, heavy oil burning, light oil burning, and coke burning. Most of the experiments were history matched successfully with the exception of ones where a diagonal horizontal producer was used.
