Abstract

Linvention concerne des méthodes de récupération dhydrocarbures visqueux depuis une formation souterraine. Les méthodes comprennent linjection dun premier mélange solvant-vapeur dans la formation souterraine pour une première période dinjection pour maintenir une pression de fonctionnement cible à lintérieur de la formation souterraine. Les méthodes comprennent également la transition, pendant une période de transition, de linjection du premier mélange solvant-vapeur à linjection dun second mélange solvant-vapeur, et comprennent en outre linjection du second mélange solvant-vapeur pendant une seconde période dinjection. Les méthodes comprennent en outre la production dhydrocarbures visqueux mobilisés depuis la formation souterraine. Le premier solvant possède une première température de point de rosée et est injecté dans des conditions quasi azéotropiques. Le second solvant possède un second point de rosée qui est inférieur à la première température de point de rosée.
