This paper describes a new technique to predict the parameters that govern the performance of the in-situ combustion process. This prediction is accomplished by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of the crude-oil combustion. The effect of surface area on the in-situ combustion-tube runs was also investigated.
