Abstract
Est divulgué un procédé d'exploitation de pétrole à viscosité élevée. Le procédé consiste à injecter du pétrole à basse viscosité à haute température ou une combinaison de pétrole à basse viscosité à haute température et de gaz dans un réservoir de pétrole à viscosité élevée permettant la stimulation cyclique par la vapeur. Le pétrole à basse viscosité à haute température ou la combinaison de pétrole à basse viscosité à haute température et de gaz réduit la viscosité du pétrole à viscosité élevée dans la strate par dissolution et chauffage, et augmente la pression de strate ; le pétrole à basse viscosité à haute température comprend au moins deux fractions légères et/ou des fractions intermédiaires obtenues par distillation sur site du pétrole à viscosité élevée.
