Propagation and control of fire front in the combustion assisted gravity drainage using horizontal wells

The propagating characteristics of combustion fronts and coke zones in the combustion assisted gravity drainage process were studied using 3D physical simulation experiments. The main mechanisms and factors affecting stable propagation of the combustion fronts were discussed. The experimental result...
