Abstract
La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de récupérer du pétrole à partir d'une formation, ladite formation étant coupée par au moins deux puits consistant en un puits de production horizontal et en un puits d'injection horizontal, et ladite formation comprenant au moins une chambre à vapeur développée par un procédé assisté par la vapeur. Ledit procédé consiste à utiliser un agent oxydant près de la partie supérieure de ladite formation ; à commencer une combustion in situ (ISC) ; et à récupérer le pétrole depuis au moins un puits de production.
