Abstract
Des systèmes et des méthodes de production dhydrocarbures visqueux à partir dune formation souterraine qui comprend des strates hétérolithiques inclinées chevauchantes sont décrits. Les systèmes comprennent la formation souterraine, laquelle comprend une zone inférieure et une zone de strates hétérolithiques inclinées chevauchantes. Les systèmes comprennent également une chambre chauffée à lintérieur de la zone inférieure, un puits dinjection de strates hétérolithiques sétendant à lintérieur de la zone de strates hétérolithiques et un système dalimentation de fluide de mobilisation. Le puits dinjection de strates hétérolithiques comprend un conduit de puits dinjection de strates hétérolithiques qui est en communication fluidique directe avec la zone de strates hétérolithiques, et le système dalimentation de fluide de mobilisation est conçu pour offrir un flux fluide de mobilisation au puits dinjection de strates hétérolithiques. Le puits dinjection de strates hétérolithiques est conçu pour injecter le flux fluide de mobilisation dans la zone de strates hétérolithiques pour faciliter lécoulement dhydrocarbures visqueux à partir de la zone de strates hétérolithiques. Les méthodes comprennent des méthodes dutilisation des systèmes.
