- Production Of Liquid Hydrocarbon Mixture For Refining Petroleum (AREA)
Abstract
Une variation de production de pétrole lourd de drainage par gravité au moyen de vapeur (DGMV) à solvant expansible, une vapeur et un solvant à hydrocarbures sont co-injectés dans un réservoir de pétrole lourd et dans de leau, un solvant à hydrocarbures et du pétrole lourd étant produits par drainage par gravité jusquà ce que la chambre de vapeur soit bien développée ou jusquà ce que la récupération de pétrole atteigne environ 20 % à environ 30 % de pétrole en place. À lépoque, les puits passent à un balayage latéral à laide de co-injection de vapeur et de gaz non compressible, plus de solvant à hydrocarbures étant récupéré avec un DGMV à solvant expansible utilisé tout seul, et le rapport de vapeur cumulative à pétrole étant réduit par rapport à une utilisation de DGMV à solvant expansible tout seul.
