Abstract
L'invention porte sur des procédés et sur des systèmes, lesquels produisent des produits pétroliers par drainage par gravité assisté à la vapeur utilisant des dispositifs de production doubles séparés verticalement et latéralement vis-à-vis d'au moins un injecteur. La disposition des dispositifs de production limite une élévation de température de fluides de drainage, et, par conséquent, un reflux de gaz non-condensables injectés avec de la vapeur. En particulier, les fluides sont évacués le long d'une limite de chambre de vapeur pour une récupération en des positions qui ne sont pas dans une trajectoire vers le bas directe à partir de l'endroit où l'injecteur introduit de la chaleur.
