Abstract
La présente invention concerne des procédés de limitation des pertes dans une zone de perte de circulation lors d'une récupération d'hydrocarbures par maintien de la pression dans la zone de perte de circulation par l'intermédiaire d'un chauffage à rayonnement à radiofréquence (RF) dans un fond de puits. Une zone de perte de circulation située à proximité d'un réservoir d'hydrocarbures représente un risque de laisser des composants de valeur propres au réservoir s'échapper vers la zone de perte de circulation. Outre le risque de laisser un diluant, de la chaleur ou de la vapeur s'échapper vers la zone de perte de circulation, il existe aussi un risque de laisser des hydrocarbures de valeur s'échapper vers la zone de perte de circulation. Une manière de limiter de telles pertes consiste à maintenir la pression dans la zone de perte de circulation. A cette fin, un rayonnement RF peut être utilisé pour chauffer un fluide dans une zone de perte de circulation de façon à maintenir la pression dans la zone de perte de circulation et à réduire la force de poussée associée aux pertes vers la zone de perte de circulation. Dans certains cas, la vapeur ainsi produite peut être utilisée pour améliorer la récupération thermique d'hydrocarbures. Parmi les avantages des procédés d'après la présente invention, on peut notamment citer : des coûts inférieurs, des rendements accrus, une meilleure récupération d'hydrocarbures, une moindre contamination des hydrocarbures, une mobilité accrue des hydrocarbures et une réduction des pertes dans la zone de perte de circulation.
