Abstract
La régulation de la production dasphaltène, dans un procédé de récupération à base de solvant, peut comprendre ceci : déterminer une composition de dépôt dhydrocarbures bitumineux, dans un dépôt dhydrocarbures bitumineux qui comprend de lasphaltène; sélectionner une composition de mélange de solvant dhydrocarbures, dans un mélange de solvant dhydrocarbures; injecter le mélange de solvant dhydrocarbures dans une chambre dextraction du solvant; produire une vapeur dhydrocarbures dans la formation souterraine; déterminer la teneur en asphaltène de la vapeur dhydrocarbures; et comparer la teneur en asphaltène de la vapeur dhydrocarbures à une teneur en asphaltène cible pour la valeur dhydrocarbures.
