Abstract

Procedimiento para la extracción de hidrocarburo de un reservorio subterráneo que comprende, - proveer de al menos un pozo inyector (1) que comprende un montaje de tuberías adaptado para inyectar los medios necesarios para iniciar y/o mantener la reacción de combustión dentro del reservorio (100); - proveer de al menos un pozo de producción que comprende una porción substancialmente horizontal (6), y que presenta un juego de tuberías adecuado para cumplir con su función de extraer el hidrocarburo que ingrese en el interior de dicho pozo de producción (2) a través de la porción substancialmente horizontal (6), en donde dicha porción substancialmente horizontal (6) comprende un primer extremo (7), y un segundo extremo (8), estando la porción horizontal (6) el pozo de producción (2) colocada de manera que el extremo (8) se encuentra en una posición relativa más cercana al pozo inyector (1) que el extremo (7); - iniciar la reacción de combustión dentro del reservorio inyectando gas oxidante a través del juego de tuberías presente en el interior del pozo de inyección (1) que genera un frente de combustión que en su trayectoria, se encontrará primero con el extremo (8) de la porción horizontal (6) y, posteriormente, con el extremo (7); - extraer del interior del reservorio, a través del montaje de tuberías en el interior del pozo de producción (2), el hidrocarburo que va ingresando a la porción horizontal (6). Procedimiento de acuerdo a la reivindicación 1, donde el pozo inyector (1) presenta, a lo largo o en parte de la sección sumergida en el reservorio (100), una pluralidad de aberturas a través de las cuales ingresan los gases y/o fluidos líquidos al interior del reservorio. Procedimiento de acuerdo a una cualquiera de las reivindicaciones precedentes, donde el pozo inyector (1) presenta al menos 2 pluralidades de aberturas sobre la sección sumergida en el reservorio, preferiblemente, una relativamente alta, cercana al techo del reservorio, y otra, relativamente baja, muy próxima al extremo inferior.Method for the extraction of hydrocarbon from an underground reservoir comprising, - providing at least one injector well (1) comprising a pipe assembly adapted to inject the necessary means to initiate and / or maintain the combustion reaction within the reservoir ( 100); - providing at least one production well comprising a substantially horizontal portion (6), and having a suitable set of pipes to fulfill its function of extracting the hydrocarbon that enters inside said production well (2) a through the substantially horizontal portion (6), wherein said substantially horizontal portion (6) comprises a first end (7), and a second end (8), the horizontal portion (6) being the production well (2) placed so that the end (8) is in a relative position closer to the injector well (1) than the end (7); - start the combustion reaction inside the reservoir by injecting oxidizing gas through the set of pipes present inside the injection well (1) that generates a combustion front that in its path, will first meet the end (8) of the horizontal portion (6) and, subsequently, with the end (7); - extract from the inside of the reservoir, through the assembly of pipes inside the production well (2), the hydrocarbon that enters the horizontal portion (6). Method according to claim 1, wherein the injector well (1) has, along or in part of the section submerged in the reservoir (100), a plurality of openings through which gases and / or fluids enter liquids inside the reservoir. Method according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the injector well (1) has at least 2 pluralities of openings on the section submerged in the reservoir, preferably a relatively high one, close to the roof of the reservoir, and another, relatively low , very close to the lower end.
