Abstract
Un procédé de récupération in situ du bitume peut comprendre l'injection d'un solvant contenant un fluide de démarrage dans un premier puits horizontal, la présence d'un réservoir de pression dans un deuxième puits horizontal pour entraîner par pression le solvant vers le deuxième puits pour mobiliser la région inter puits et l'établissement d'une communication fluidique entre le premier puits horizontal et le deuxième puits horizontal. Les autres procédés de démarrage peuvent comprendre la sélection d'intervalles de démarrage le long des puits et, pour chaque intervalle, l'isolement de l'intervalle et l'injection du solvant à l'emplacement d'intervalle pour améliorer la mobilité. Les procédés peuvent être appliqués à des paires de puits SAGD ainsi que des puits de remplissage, des puits d'extension et/ou des puits multilatéraux.
