| 摘要 |
A pre-ignition heat cycle (PIHC) using cyclic steam injection and steam flood techniques is described that improves the recovery of viscous hydrocarbons from a subterranean reservoir using an overhead in-situ combustion technique such as combustion overhead gravity drainage (COGD). The PIHC, by developing horizontal and vertical transmissive zones predispose a viscous oil reservoir to develop a conformable combustion chamber. Good conformance of the combustion chamber enhances recovery factor and improves well operations in the field for in-situ combustion applications.
