Oil recovery as a function of the fraction of oil displaced from heated zone

Input(s)

F: Air Injected per Unit Oil Produced (Mscf/bbl)

\varnothing: Porosity (fraction)

ara_{r}: Air Required to Burn a Unit Volume of Reservoir (Mscf/ft3)\left(\mathrm{Mscf} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)

SoiS_{o i}: Initial Water Saturation (fraction)

SofS_{o f}: Oil Saturation Burned (fraction)

EO2E_{O 2}: Oxygen Consumption Efficiency (fraction)

Output(s)

EcbE_{c b}: Oil Recovery (fraction)

Formula(s)

Ecb=5.615arFEO2( SoiSof)\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{cb}}=5.615 \frac{\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{r}}}{\mathrm{F} * \emptyset * \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{O} 2} *\left(\mathrm{~S}_{\mathrm{oi}}-\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{of}}\right)}
