Abstract
Des systèmes et des procédés visant à améliorer la production dhydrocarbures visqueux provenant dune formation souterraine. Les procédés peuvent comprendre le chauffage dun mélange de solvant à base dhydrocarbures pour générer un flux de vapeur, linjection du courant de vapeur dans la formation souterraine pour générer des hydrocarbures à viscosité réduite et la production dhydrocarbures à viscosité réduite à partir de la formation souterraine. Les procédés peuvent également comprendre le choix dune composition du mélange de solvant à base dhydrocarbures en déterminant une pression maximale limite de la formation souterraine, en déterminant une température de flux à laquelle le flux de vapeur doit être injecté dans la formation souterraine, et la sélection de la composition du mélange de solvant à base dhydrocarbures en fonction de la température du flux et de la pression maximale limite. Les systèmes peuvent comprendre un système de production dhydrocarbures pouvant être configuré de manière à effectuer les procédés et/ou comprendre un puits dinjection, un ensemble dalimentation de produit à injecter et un puits de production.
