Air injection as a thermal method for heavy oil recovery has a long history of about a century.
However, it has not been widely applied in oilfields to date because of many challenges …

A porous medium thermo-effect cell (PMTEC) was developed to fast characterize the
combustion of crude oils in porous media in air flow for air injection enhanced oil recovery …

High pressure air injection (HPAI) has unique advantages due to its rich gas source and
unique high-energy displacement effect of the thermal front. Thermal effect of air injection …

In this paper, an integrated and pragmatic framework has been developed to experimentally
determine the live oil oxidation with its physical properties and evaluate performance of air …

Air injection is a promising method for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in both conventional
and unconventional oil sources. It is widely accepted that oxidation reactions between oil …

High pressure air injection (HPAI) can improve oil recovery by 10%–20% due to its unique
oxidation heat effect. The high temperature and pressure thermostatic device is used to …

The complicated composition of crude oils increases the difficulties in understanding their
complex oxidation mechanism and catalysis in an air injection enhanced oil recovery (EOR) …

Air has the characteristics of low-temperature oxidation (LTO) as well as improving drainage
energy. Therefore, it can be co-injected with steam to enhance an oil recovery factor. This …

We formulate a mathematical model for one dimensional flow with chemical reactions
resulting from injection of air into a porous medium initially filled with gas, water and volatile …

Combustion can be used to enhance recovery of heavy, medium, or light oil in highly
heterogeneous reservoirs. Such broad range of applicability is attained because not only do …
