Impact of chemical reactions in the gas phase on the in-situ combustion process: An experimental study

In-Situ Combustion (ISC) is a thermal enhanced oil recovery method. Therefore, air or oxygen-enriched air is injected in the reservoir. The oxygen reacts with part of the hydrocarbon forming heat and combustion products. The released heat increases the temperature locally in the reservoir and lowers the viscosity of the oil. Formed gaseous...
