Injected air through the casing to the overburden
was observed, leading to the suspension of air in
jection. Once this problem was overcome, the
test was reinitiated from January 14 until 31 of
1978. At this time, an increase in C02 concentra
tion was observed, as well as a temperature rise
in the injector well, confirming combustion by
spontaneous ignition. However, failure in the
compression units along
with high temperature in
the injection well caused severe operational

problems leading to the suspension of the pilot
test.
Tia Juana Field Test
From November 1959 until February 1962, an
ISC field test was carried out in Block K-7 east of
Tia Juana. The test consisted of one inverted
seven-spot pattern with one injection well and six
producers with 438-foot spacing between injec
tor and producer.
