Abstract
L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de récupération du solvant qui reste dans une chambre à drainage par gravité arrivée à maturité formée par extraction au solvant. Le procédé consiste à passer d'une phase de production de pétrole à une phase de récupération de solvant liquide en continuant à produire des fluides à partir de la chambre, même après l'arrêt de l'injection de solvant. Du solvant liquide supplémentaire qui ne peut pas se drainer librement hors de la chambre et une partie du solvant qui est retenu en phase gazeuse dans la chambre sont alors récupérés en aspirant du gaz de la chambre. L'invention concerne aussi la gestion de la pression de la chambre par injection de gaz non condensable ou d'eau de formation dans la chambre, ainsi que l'injection d'eau pour améliorer la récupération de solvant à partir de réservoirs avec une faible saturation initiale en eau. L'invention concerne également un appareil approprié pour mettre en uvre la présente invention.
