fireflood: An enchanced recovery technique used in some locations to increase and/or accelerate the recovery of low gravity and high viscosity oil from a field.Essentially,the method involves the heating of the oil in the formation by igniting the oil(burning it in place)and keeping the combustion alive by pumping air down hole.As the front of burning oil advances,the heat breaks down the oil into coke and light oil.And as the coke burns,the lighter,less viscous oil is pushed ahead to the well bores of the producing wells(1)
