Abstract
In-situ combustion (ISC) as an Enhanced Oil Recovery method has been applied for 70 years. However, considerable progresses have been made in the last 20 years and they refer to new utilizations of ISC and enlargement of its area of application, as follows:
a. Application of ISC as a tertiary exploitation method after steam flooding (steam drive)
b. Application of ISC to deep heavy oil reservoirs of high temperature
c. Combination of the ISC with horizontal wells as production wells, resulting in the development of the Toe-To-Heel Air Injection (THAI) process
