Abstract
Il est décrit des procédés de conditionnement dun réservoir enterré ayant subi un procédé de récupération thermique pour favoriser une efficacité accrue lors dun procédé subséquent de récupération dominé par solvant. Les procédés comprennent la détermination de la température dun réservoir, linjection dun fluide de pressurisation dans une porosité qui sest formée dans le réservoir au cours du procédé de récupération thermique pour augmenter la pression du réservoir; la surveillance de la pression du réservoir; et par suite de la pression sous surveillance atteignant une pression de récupération prédéterminée en fonction dune température déterminée : linjection dun fluide mobilisateur comprenant une vapeur de solvant dans le réservoir, la vapeur de solvant ayant une phase liquide-à-vapeur dont le seuil est près de la température déterminée et de la pression de récupération prédéterminée; et la production dun fluide comprenant un bitume plus mobile à partir du réservoir.
