Summary:Combustion in situ is an enhanced oil recovery method with a high potential to develop as a recovery technique in heavy oil fields worldwide. Unlike other processes like steam injection where the energy is sent from the surface, the energy for in situ combustion process is generated and delivered directly into the reservoir. Moreover, this method involves very complex mechanisms that impede the adequate representation through physical models. A very useful laboratory test to perform a technical review of combustion process is tube tests, it provide information about the characteristics of burning of a particularly crude and allow setting from the composition of produced fluids, some necessary parameters to design an in situ combustion process. However, the results of the test tube are not directly applicable to field, because as mentioned earlier, combustion involves many difficult scaling phenomena in the field. It was therefore necessary to study the effect of different operational and reservoir parameters, which led to different results.
