Abstract
In-situ combustion process is a widely used approach as an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method in shale and heavy oil reservoirs. In this present contribution, normal propane combustion has been investigated in a porous media. In this regard, fluid flow and heat transfer equations coupled with reaction network of propane combustion in a porous media and solved with COMSOL software. A good agreement was observed between modeling results and experimental investigation of propane combustion (AARD equal to 6.99%). Although hydrodynamic of propane combustion in porous media and its effect on the concentration distribution of materials has been studied.
