Abstract
Un système et une méthode sont présentés servant à établir une communication fluide entre une paire de puits positionnés dans une région payante dune réserve de bitume. La méthode fonctionne pour établir une communication fluide en appliquant une chaleur rapide dans une région inter puits entre la paire de puits au moyen dau moins une source de chaleur et en labsence dinjection de fluide, la chaleur étant suffisante pour causer la dilatation des pores dans la région inter puits par dilatation thermique du fluide donné présent dans les pores.
