Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for the recovery of heavy oil or bitumen contained in a geological reservoir (1) comprising: a) a step of injecting an oil extraction fluid into the reservoir, b) a step of producing the heavy oil or bitumen extracted, and c) a step of injecting a diverting agent to limit the circulation of said extraction fluid into the part of the reservoir from where the heavy oil or bitumen has been extracted.
