Abstract
Des procédés améliorent une récupération d'hydrocarbures par une régulation de production de gaz pour des gaz non condensables en SAGD ou ES-SAGD. De la vapeur injectée dans un ou plusieurs puits d'injection chauffe les hydrocarbures et réduit leur viscosité pour produire plus aisément les hydrocarbures. Un gaz non condensable peut être injecté dans les puits d'injection pour réduire le rapport vapeur-à-huile, améliorant une récupération économique. Une production excessive de gaz non condensables peut diminuer de façon défavorable les vitesses de production d'hydrocarbures. Pour contrecarrer ce problème, les vitesses de production de gaz peuvent être régulées par limitation du rapport gaz-à-eau produit. Le gaz non condensables peut comprendre un gaz de combustion tel qu'un gaz de carneau. Les avantages comprennent des rendements supérieurs à des coûts inférieurs, un temps réduit d'extraction d'hydrocarbures et, dans certains modes de réalisation, des émissions réduites de gaz à effet de serre.
