Abstract
Des méthodes servant à récupérer du bitume dun réservoir enterré foré par un puits de forage sont décrits. Les méthodes consistent à injecter un premier fluide fluidifiant dans le réservoir enterré par lintermédiaire du puits de forage, renfermer le premier fluide fluidifiant dans le réservoir afin de diminuer la viscosité dau moins une partie du bitume qui sy trouve, maintenir le premier fluide fluidifiant dans le réservoir, récupérer du bitume fluidifié à partir du réservoir, puis déterminer sil y a un problème dans le puits de forage. Dans laffirmative, les méthodes consistent à injecter un deuxième fluide fluidifiant dans le réservoir par lintermédiaire du puits de forage, renfermer le deuxième fluide dans le réservoir, maintenir le deuxième fluide dans le réservoir, puis récupérer du bitume fluidifié à partir du réservoir. Le premier fluide fluidifiant comprend de la vapeur et le deuxième comprend un solvant pour hydrocarbures. Les problèmes qui surviennent peuvent être liés à lintégrité de lenveloppe, à la sortie de fluide ou à la pompe.
