Role of phase behavior on global oxidation/combustion kinetics

注气是一种强化的石油回收工艺，可用于从沥青和重油(6至14 API)到轻油(30至45 API)生产各种原油。美国威利斯顿盆地的轻油项目以及罗马尼亚苏普拉斯德巴尔库和印度梅萨纳的重油项目的成功表明，注气是一种可行的二次和三次采油工艺。在加拿大，一些运营商目前正在考虑将就地燃烧作为在阿萨巴斯卡油砂实施SAGD的后续行动，作为延长SAGD项目经济寿命的一种手段。

Air injection is an enhanced oil recovery process that can be used to produce a wide range of crude oils from bitumens and heavy oils (6 to 14 API) through light oils (30 to 45 API). The success of the light oil projects in the Williston Basin, USA and the heavy oil projects in Suplacu de Barcu, Romania and Mehsana, India have shown that air injection is a viable secondary and tertiary recovery process. In Canada, the potential of applying in situ combustion as a follow up to SAGD in Athabasca Oil Sands is currently being considered by a number of operators as a means of extending the economic life of SAGD projects.
