Equivalent water saturation in burned zone in-situ combustion by Nelson
Input(s)
\(\mathrm{x}\): Equivalent \(\mathrm{H} / \mathrm{C}\) Molar Ratio (ratio)
\(\emptyset\): Volume of Air Required to Burn through a Unit Volume of Reservoir (Mscf/ \(\mathrm{ft}^{3}\) )
\(a_{r}\): Volume Required to Burn through Reservoir \(\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)\)
m: Ratio of Carbon Monoxide to Carbon Emissions (fraction)
Output(s)
\(S_{w F}\): Water Saturation Resulting from Combustion (fraction)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{wF}}=\frac{0.319 * \mathrm{x} * \mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{r}}}{\emptyset *(4-2 * \mathrm{~m}+\mathrm{x})}
\]
