Abstract

L'invention porte sur des procédés et des systèmes pour produire des produits pétroliers à l'aide de multiples puits horizontaux par lesquels les procédés d'injection pré-conditionnent et déplacent les hydrocarbures présents dans une formation. Les puits s'étendent à travers la formation espacée les uns des autres dans une direction latérale. Avant qu'une communication fluidique soit établie entre les puits, des injections et productions de reflux résultant cycliques amorcent le conditionnement de produits immobiles. L'alternance entre l'injection et la production au niveau de puits adjacents peut ensuite faciliter l'établissement de la communication fluidique. Après que la communication fluidique est établie, une opération de déplacement balaye les hydrocarbures de l'un des puits utilisé pour l'injection vers l'un des puits adjacent utilisé pour la production.
