COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ON IMPACT OF WATER SATURATION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF IN-SITU COMBUSTION

The amount of oil together with the water Originally in Place (OIP), makes up liquid phase heavy reservoir systems. This present pores system is known as saturation, plays a vital role improving recovery through In-Situ Combustion (ISC) process. acts fuel generating thermal energy required for viscosity reduction and supports formation an enlarged condensation zone that aids higher mobility low viscous oil. A numerical investigation carried out to study saturation on performance in-situ combustion reservoir. finite-difference based model developed validated recovery. then used carry impact ISC, it screening criteria selection ISC. results projected significant effect production profile during comparison between variation saturations increase temperatures increased than saturation. highest are observed at maximum (oil together) Further, additional drive provided by contribute early rates.
