Abstract
L'invention concerne la récupération de bitume qui peut inclure l'assèchement d'une zone pauvre en hydrocarbures saturée en eau et produire des hydrocarbures depuis un réservoir profond riche en bitume. L'assèchement peut inclure une production d'eau par des puits de production d'eau, et l'injection de gaz non condensable (GNC) au moyen d'un puits d'injection afin que le GNC soit injecté pour pressuriser de nouveau la zone pauvre en hydrocarbures tout en évitant d'acheminer substantiellement le GNC vers les puits de production d'eau. Après avoir atteint la réduction de la saturation en eau cible dans la zone pauvre en hydrocarbures et formé une zone enrichie en gaz, les puits de production d'eau peuvent être convertis en un puits d'injection de GNC adéquat pour empêcher l'entrée d'eau dans la zone enrichie en gaz. Les puits dans leur site naturel, comme les puits de drainage par gravité au moyen de vapeur, situés dans le réservoir riche en bitume sous la zone enrichie en gaz peuvent être exploités pour former une chambre, comme une chambre à pression, et la zone enrichie en gaz est maintenue à une pression voisine de la pression de la chambre sous-jacente, fournissant une pressurisation et une isolation de GNC sous-jacentes à la chambre et aux opérations de récupération des hydrocarbures.
