ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method for detecting the flame front during the in situ combustion of a subterranean carbonaceous stratum which involves providing one or more radio transmitters below the surface of the ground, each of said transmitters being capable of sensing and transmitting information concerning the physical and chemical properties of its surroundings, and monitoring said transmissions as an indication of the extent and movement of said flame front. Also disclosed is a method for detecting non-uniform packing characteristics of rubblized material which involves providing one or more radio transmitters within the boundaries of a retort capable of sensing and transmitting information concerning the physical parameters of its surroundings, and monitoring said transmissions as an indication of the size and density distributions of the rubble in said retort.
