Injected air required to burn through unit bulk of reservoir for in-situ combustion by Nelson and McNiel

Input(s)

ara_{r}: Air Required to Burn through Reservoir (MSCF/ft3)\left(\mathrm{MSCF} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)

Tsc,abT_{s c, a b}: Temperature at Standard Condition (K)

TabT_{a b}: Temperature at Absolute Condition (K)

Psc,abP_{s c, a b}: Pressure at Standard Condition (psi)

Pinj,abP_{i n j, a b}: Pressure at Absolute Condition (psi)

\emptyset: Porosity (fraction)

EO2E_{O 2}: Utilization Efficiency of Oxygen (fraction)

Output(s)

ara_{r}: Injected Air Required to Burn through Unit Reservoir Bulk (MSCF/ ft3\mathrm{ft}^{3} )

Formula(s)

ar=ar+(103)(Tsc,abTab)(Pinj,abPsc,ab)EO2\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{r}}=\frac{\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{r}}+\left(10^{-3}\right) *\left(\frac{\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{sc}, \mathrm{ab}}}{\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{ab}}}\right) *\left(\frac{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{inj}, \mathrm{ab}}}{\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{sc}, \mathrm{ab}}}\right) * \emptyset}{\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{O} 2}}
