Abstract
La présente divulgation décrit un procédé de récupération principalement à gravité dans un puits unique pour produire des hydrocarbures visqueux dune formation de sables bitumineux souterraine. Le procédé exploite un seul puits vertical ou incliné dans une formation, le trou de forage comprenant un moyen dinjection et un moyen de production, le moyen dinjection étant positionné dans un trou de forage plus près de la surface que le moyen de production. Le procédé offre une zone de grande mobilité adjacente au moyen de production. Un fluide de mobilisation est injecté par le moyen dinjection dans la formation pour mobiliser les hydrocarbures visqueux dans la formation tout en produisant essentiellement en simultané des hydrocarbures par le moyen de production. Le procédé principalement par gravité peut être le SAGD et le présent procédé peut être un procédé SAGD dans un puits unique vertical ou incliné.
