This paper presents a simplified procedure for predicting oxygen and air fireflooding performance. Results indicate that oxygen injection may substantially increase oil productivity so that projects may be completed more rapidly in productivity-limited reservoirs. However, oxygen/oil ratio (OOR), or cost per barrel of produced oil, is also higher with oxygen injection. Wet combustion may reduce OOR, especially for oxygen injection and high-pressure reservoirs.
