“…With respect to in situ combustion, on the one hand, very low formation permeability of shales and tight reservoirs may reduce the well injectivity of air (injected gas) [42,67]. On the other hand, a huge surface area of the grains due to low permeability will enhance the reactivity of oil with the injected gas.…”

“…On the brighter side, the high clay concentrations of the West Siberian formation serve as a catalyst for the combustion by decreasing activation energy. The in situ combustion process provides the optimal heat ideal for thermal breakdown of kerogen, which will aid in the production of substantial unconventional hydrocarbon reserves [42,67].…”

“…The thermal methods, such as HPAI, combustion, and injection of supercritical water, are the highly popular experimental studied methods for West Siberian shales and tight reservoirs. However, the field implementation of these technologies will require an overhaul of additional technologies and studies, such as new well designs and pilot studies [67,68]. A summary of the experimental studies of the application of thermal methods for West Siberian shales and tight reservoirs is presented in Table 3.…”

Shale and tight oil reservoirs, with horizontal wells and hydraulic fractures, typically have a recovery ratio of around 10%. The exploration of tight oil and shale in North America has proven economically viable, thanks to advancements, such as horizontal wells, hydraulic fracturing, and other enhanced oil recovery techniques. Taking inspiration from the global experience (the North American shale experience), the exploration and development of the West Siberian tight and shale reserves was more focused on the reported best practices of the exploration of North American shale. In this study, the advance in the specific areas of shale and tight oil exploration was considered, with more emphasis placed on the progress in the exploration of West Siberian shales. According to the review literature, thermal enhanced recovery methods capable of converting organic matter into hydrocarbons were studied more than other methods of enhanced oil recovery. Aligned with global trends, there has been a growing focus on research aiming to integrate data-driven approaches and pore-scale simulations to enhance recovery from tight and shale formations. Multiple pilot studies have showcased promising prospects for implementing multistage hydraulic fracturing. Nevertheless, there are limited pilot studies dedicated to enhanced oil recovery methods for West Siberian shale.
