Kazan University has claimed its researchers have made an in-situ combustion breakthrough by stabilising the combustion front with catalysts, resulting in a 10-fold increase in movement along a reservoir. Collaborating with the Institute of Physics, the next phase will create a model that can be tested with specific catalysts. Baker Hughes has expressed an interest in commercial applications of the research.
