Abstract
Un procédé de démarrage de récupération de bitume in situ, pour un système de récupération de bitume in situ comportant une paire de puits comprenant un puits d'injection horizontal et un puits de production horizontal situé au-dessus séparé par une région inter puits, comprend l'injection d'un solvant contenant un fluide de démarrage dans le puits d'injection à une pression inférieure à la pression de fracturation du réservoir à proximité du puits d'injection; la présence d'un puits de pression dans le puits de production pour stimuler l'entraînement par pression du solvant du puits d'injection vers le puits de production pour mobiliser le bitume dans la région inter puits et l'établissement d'une communication fluidique entre le puits d'injection et le puits de production. Ce procédé permet le démarrage efficace au solvant dans les opérations in situ comme le procédé SAGD. Un procédé de démarrage peut aussi comprendre des intervalles d'isolement et l'injection de solvant dans les intervalles le long de la paire de puits. Ce procédé permet l'amélioration du démarrage au solvant dans les opérations in situ comme le procédé SAGD.
