n: 1.the injection of air into a reservoir in a pressure maintenance or an in situ combustion project. 2. the injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of a diesel engine by means of a jet of compressed air.

n: a type of in situ combustion in which the combustion front moves counter to the direction of the injected air. Air is injected into a production well and burning is started near the well. When the combustion zone has advanced a short distance from the well. air injection is stopped from the production well and started from an adjacent injection well. The fire advances toward the injection well, but the oil moves toward the production well. This method may be used with very viscous oils. Compare forward combustion.
