Abstract
Pour extraire une huile visqueuse sur place, de l'énergie électrique est transportée par au moins deux électrodes selon une quantité qui, en l'absence d'injection de solvant, entraînerait l'évaporation de l'eau du réservoir à proximité des électrodes. De plus, du solvant est injecté dans le réservoir pour atténuer l'évaporation de l'eau à proximité des électrodes grâce à la diminution de la température dans cette région. Par la suite, de l'huile et du solvant sont produits par un ou plusieurs puits de production.
