METHOD OF DEVELOPING HIGH-VISCOSITY OILS BY WAY OF IN-SITU COMBUSTION

摘要

FIELD: oil and gas production. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods of production of viscous oils and bitumens and may be used when involving in-situ combustion. Distinguishing feature of invention consists in that a permeable refractory material is pumped in into the channel after stationary burning zone is established, said material being a mixture of claydite (clay filler) crumbs and oil. EFFECT: increased oil recovery from bed due to increased coverage of bed with evenly advancing flame front.
