Abstract
La récupération dhydrocarbures peut comprendre linjection de gaz non condensable, par lintermédiaire dun puits dinjection de gaz, dans une zone pauvre en hydrocarbures située au-dessus et en communication fluidique avec un réservoir riche en hydrocarbures, pour former une région enrichie en gaz à lintérieur de la zone pauvre en hydrocarbures, pour pressuriser la zone pauvre en hydrocarbures et pour déplacer au moins une partie de leau contenue dans celle-ci. Les puits de récupération in situ peuvent fonctionner dans le réservoir riche en hydrocarbures et une chambre permettant la mobilisation des fluides peut être formée dans le réservoir riche en hydrocarbures. La région enrichie en gaz peut réduire la fuite de fluides et la perte thermique de la chambre permettant la mobilisation des fluides dans la zone pauvre en hydrocarbures et leau peut être déplacée à lécart dune région de la zone pauvre en hydrocarbures qui recouvre la chambre permettant la mobilisation des fluides. Au moins une propriété de la zone pauvre en hydrocarbures peut être surveillée et linjection du gaz non condensable peut être contrôlée selon ladite au moins une propriété de la zone pauvre en hydrocarbures.
