Abstract
Un procédé pour une combustion in situ dans une opération mature de récupération dhydrocarbures dans un réservoir souterrain est décrit. Lopération mature de récupération dhydrocarbures comprend des paires de puits et une zone de communication interpuits entre les paires de puits. Le procédé comprend linjection dun gaz oxydant à travers au moins un puits pour lancer une combustion et promouvoir une mobilisation dhydrocarbures lourds résiduels dans le réservoir. Le gaz oxydant peut être injecté à un flux dinjection denviron 0,3 à environ 1,2 m3(ST)/m2.h. En variante, la zone de communication interpuits peut avoir une saturation de bitume denviron 0,20 à environ 0,05. Lopération mature de récupération dhydrocarbures peut être une opération de drainage par gravité au moyen de vapeur (SAGD).
