Abstract
La présente invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés permettant de réguler la production dasphaltènes dans un procédé de récupération à base de solvant et de sélectionner une composition de mélange de solvant hydrocarboné dun mélange de solvant hydrocarboné. Cela comprend des systèmes et des procédés permettant daméliorer la récupération de bitume dans un procédé de récupération à base de solvant en utilisant un procédé dinjection de vapeur quasi azéotropique et de solvant hydrocarboné qui consiste à déterminer une teneur en asphaltènes cible pour un flux de produit à base de pétrole lourd de réservoir produit à partir dun réservoir souterrain, dadapter la composition et la teneur de vapeur et de solvant hydrocarboné en vue de maximiser la régulation des asphaltènes souhaitée, et dinjecter la composition de vapeur et de solvant hydrocarboné adaptée dans le réservoir souterrain à des conditions quasi azéotropiques.
