The Stanford University Petroleum Research Institute (SUPRI) was formed in 1976. Over the years research has been performed in the following major projects: (1) flow properties - to study effect of temperature on absolute and oil-water relative permeabilities, and on capillary pressure; (2) in-situ combustion - experimental and theoretical determination of the kinetics of the reactions occurring in-situ combustion, and understanding of the combustion process in field application; (3) steam injection with additives - to determine the mechanisms involved in the effects of foaming additives on a steam injection process; (4) reservoir definition - techniques of reservoir evaluation using tracers and well tests; and (5) field support studies. Progress reports are presented for these five tasks.
