CFD simulation of propane combustion in a porous media: application to enhanced oil recovery of heavy oil reservoirs

Pages 432-439 | Published online: 08 Jun 2020
 

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.
