Abstract
Des procédés permettent de sélectionner une composition dun mélange de solvant dhydrocarbure en vue dune injection dans une formation souterraine pour améliorer la production dhydrocarbures visqueux à partir de la formation souterraine. Le mélange de solvant dhydrocarbure peut être injecté dans la formation souterraine sous forme dun flux de vapeur à une pression de vapeur. Le procédé peut comprendre la sélection dune composition du mélange de solvant dhydrocarbure en fonction au moins partiellement dune température de flux à laquelle le flux de vapeur doit être injecté dans la formation souterraine et une pression maximum seuil de la formation souterraine.
