Abstract

Il est possible de récupérer de l'huile, y compris l'huile visqueuse, d'un réservoir souterrain, par procédé d'extraction cyclique recourant principalement à l'injection de solvants. Un solvant diminuant la viscosité est injecté, et l'huile et le solvant sont produits. € la différence des procédés d'extraction recourant principalement à l'injection de vapeur, les procédés d'extraction recourant principalement à l'injection de solvants produisent une digitation visqueuse devant être contrôlée. Pour ce faire, on fait appel à une synchronisation opérationnelle des groupes et non entre des groupes adjacents.
