Abstract
Un système et des méthodes sont présentés en vue de chauffer un réservoir dhydrocarbures, où le réservoir comprend une zone de saturation de pétrole réduite à proximité dune zone de pétrole lourd. La méthode comprend linjection dun gaz oxydant dans la zone de saturation de pétrole réduite et la combustion des hydrocarbures inclus dans la zone de saturation de pétrole réduite. La méthode comprend également la détermination dun niveau de chauffage dans la zone de pétrole brut qui est chauffée par conduction par la combustion des hydrocarbures dans la zone de saturation de pétrole réduite et la production dhydrocarbures de la zone de pétrole lourd une fois le niveau désiré de chauffage atteint.
