To differentiate the process in which air and water are injected from conventional or dry forward combustion, the former has been called COFCAW, an acronym from Combination of Forward Combustion and Waterflooding. COFCAW offers advantages over conventional forward combustion. It permits more efficient heat distribution and reduced fuel requirements, hence faster movement of the combustion front through the reservoir. These lead to more efficient use of injected air and, therefore, a more economic displacement process. To better appreciate the advantages of COFCAW, the basic characteristics of conventional forward combustion are described.
