Abstract

El método mejorado para la recuperación de hidrocarburos de unyacimiento de hidrocarburos, el cual comprende las etapas de:- introducir un gas de inyección por una serie de un pozo de inyección predominantemente horizontales, separados lateralmente entre sí y alternados con pozos de producción para movilizar los hidrocarburos en el yacimiento que los contiene; - ajustar la concentración de solvente en el gas de inyección y mantener la misma en la composición del punto de saturación a las condiciones de presión y temperatura en el yacimiento de hidrocarburos; y- producir los hidrocarburos movilizados del yacimiento de hidrocarburos a lo largo de una serie de pozos de producción horizontales separados lateralmente entre sí y que alternan con los pozos de inyección.Un sistema para la recuperación de hidrocarburos de un yacimiento de hidrocarburos que tiene una zona de alta permeabilidad en la base del yacimiento de hidrocarburo, sistema que comprende:- una fuente de solvente o solventes de hidrocarburo;- una fuente de gas o gases diluyente (s) y gas de remate;- una instalación de superficie que opera en las condiciones de temperatura y presión del fondo del pozo para separar el crudo y el gas de remate, enriquecer el gas de remate con solvente y reinyectar el gas de inyección de vuelta en la formación; - un primer pozo de inyección perforado horizontalmente en la zona de alta permeabilidad, el pozo de inyección tiene una porción abierta para la comunicación del fluido con la zona de alta permeabilidad y está conectado a la fuente de inyección de gas; y - un primer pozo de producción perforado horizontalmente en el fondo del yacimiento de hidrocarburo y separado lateralmente del pozo de inyección, el primer pozo de producción incluyendo una bomba para bombear crudo del pozo.
