Abstract
Cette invention concerne un procédé consistant à co-injecter du solvant et de la vapeur d'eau pendant la phase d'initiation d'une opération de drainage par gravité au moyen de vapeur (DGMV). L'invention concerne en outre un procédé consistant à co-injecter du solvant avec de la vapeur d'eau pendant la phase de production d'une opération de DGMV. Les deux procédés permettent d'améliorer l'efficacité de la récupération de bitume à partir de sables bitumineux.
