Supporting technology for enhanced oil recovery: In-situ combustion predictive model

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6591978

The In-Situ Combustion Predictive Model (ICPM) was developed by Scientific Software-Intercomp for the National Petroleum Council (NPC) for its 1984 survey of US enhanced oil recovery potential (NPC, 1984). The architecture of the ICPM is similar to that of the other predictive models in the series (Paul et al., 1982; Aydelotte and Pope, 1983; Paul et al., 1984): an oil rate versus time function for a single pattern is computed, the results of which are passed to the economic calculations. Data for process costs, resevoir development costs, and operating costs, and a pattern schedule if multiple patterns are desired, allow the computation of discounted cash flow and other measures of profitability. A brief summary of the oil recovery and economic calculations for the ICPM is given in Sections 1.2 and 1.3. 12 refs., 15 figs., 24 tabs.
