Abstract

Méthode de production dhydrocarbures à partir dun réservoir contenant les hydrocarbures. Linvention comprend un drainage par gravité au moyen de vapeur (DGMV) comportant linjection de vapeur cyclique, de solvant lourd (p. ex. supérieur à C4) et de solvant léger (p. ex. de C2 à C4). La méthode comporte une série détapes lors desquelles linjection des vapeurs respectives varie. La méthode propose une amélioration considérable de lefficacité de lextraction des hydrocarbures, en comparaison du processus de DGMV seul et atténue bon nombre des inconvénients associés aux opérations types de DGMV.
