Abstract
Des techniques sont décrites pour récupérer des hydrocarbures à partir dune région stratifiée, comme une strate hétérolithique inclinée (SHI), qui comprend des zones productrices définies entre des couches à faible perméabilité. Certaines techniques comprennent la fourniture dun puits sétendant dans la région stratifiée et utilisé pour injecter un fluide de mobilisation, puis la production des hydrocarbures mobilisés. Une paire de puits à drainage par gravité assisté par vapeur peuvent être recomplétés pour permettre linjection et la production dans les segments de puits inclinés qui passent à travers la région stratifiée. Certaines techniques comprennent lutilisation du drainage par gravité assisté par vapeur dans une région productrice principale sous-jacente à une zone SHI, puis à utiliser un puits vertical sétendant depuis la surface dans la SHI et une région supérieure de la zone productrice principale pour injecter un gaz non condensable dans la SHI afin de former une zone enrichie en gaz non condensable dans la SHI et assurer un drainage à partir de la SHI dans la zone productrice principale.
