Abstract
La présente invention concerne un procédé destiné à mobiliser des hydrocarbures visqueux dans un réservoir consistant à (a) injecter une solution aqueuse dans le réservoir, ce dernier étant à une température ambiante de réservoir. La solution aqueuse comprend de l'eau et un agent chimique hydrosoluble qui est sensiblement non-décomposable et sensiblement non-réactif dans le réservoir à la température ambiante du réservoir. De plus, le procédé consiste à (b) ajouter de l'énergie thermique au réservoir à tout moment après (a) pour augmenter la température d'au moins une partie du réservoir à une température élevée supérieure à la température ambiante du réservoir. En outre, le procédé consiste, en réponse à la température élevée dans (b), à (c) mobiliser au moins une partie des hydrocarbures dans le réservoir en réduisant la viscosité des hydrocarbures et en permettant à l'agent chimique d'améliorer la mobilisation des hydrocarbures.
