Abstract
Une méthode dextraction du bitume dun dépôt de sable bitumineux souterrain est présentée qui comprend : a) retirer la surcharge dun dépôt souterrain; b) faire exploser le dépôt souterrain en fragments de dépôt souterrain pour ainsi former un dépôt explosé, le dépôt explosé étant exploitable pour permettre un volume dinondation de fluide à ajouter au dépôt explosé, pour prélever puis libérer le pétrole lourd dun matériau inerte de sorte que le pétrole lourd flotte sur le volume dinondation de liquide formant une mousse composée de volume dinondation et du bitume libéré de lintérieur et du dessus du dépôt explosé; c) inonder le dépôt explosé en utilisant le fluide, pour ainsi former un dépôt inondé; d) récupérer le pétrole lourd avec le volume dinondation de fluide dans le dépôt inondé et e) retirer le fluide du dépôt inondé, pour ainsi former un dépôt traité, le dépôt traité étant compacté par le retrait du fluide du dépôt inondé de sorte que le dépôt traité nest pas suffisamment perméable pour accepter un deuxième volume d'inondation de fluide dun dépôt explosé adjacent.
