Abstract
Linvention concerne le traitement sur place dun réservoir dhydrocarbures comprenant la sélection, dans le réservoir, dune chambre de vapeur mûre et dune chambre de vapeur dexploitation généralement adjacente à la chambre de vapeur mûre et en communication fluide avec celle-ci. La chambre de vapeur dexploitation est soumise ou peut être soumise à un traitement de drainage par gravité au moyen de vapeur (SAGD). Un gaz non oxydant est injecté dans la chambre de vapeur mûre pour former une zone-tampon non oxydante sous pression entre les chambres de vapeur mûre et dexploitation. Un gaz comprenant de loxygène est aussi injecté dans la chambre mûre pour maintenir la pression dans celle-ci afin de réduire ou déviter les fuites de fluide ou le croisement de flux de la chambre dexploitation dans la chambre mûre tout en réalisant le SAGD en continu dans la chambre dexploitation.
