Abstract
Esta invención propone un proceso de combustión in-situ que no emplea uno o más pozos de venteo de gas separados. Al menos un pozo de producción vertical que tiene una parte sustancialmente vertical que se extiende hacia la parte baja del depósito y una parte de pata horizontal que se extiende horizontalmente hacia fuera del mismo, relativamente profundo en el depósito. Al menos un pozo de inyección de gas oxidante vertical, colocado por encima y en relación espaciada con el pozo horizontal, se coloca lateralmente a lo largo del pozo horizontal aproximadamente en la sección media del mismo. Un gas oxidante se inyecta en el mismo provocando frentes de combustión que avanzan desde tal pozo de inyección hacia fuera en direcciones opuestas mutuamente a lo largo del pozo horizontal. Preferiblemente, una pluralidad de pozos de inyección se proveen a lo largo del pozo horizontal, y se inyecta un gas oxidante en cada uno y los frentes de combustión provocados avanzan hacia el exterior y en direcciones opuestas entre sí, y el petróleo debe drenar hacia abajo en el pozo horizontal, el cual junto con los gases de combustión calientes se llevan en la superficie.This invention proposes an in-situ combustion process that does not employ one or more separate gas vent wells. At least one vertical production well that has a substantially vertical part that extends towards the lower part of the tank and a horizontal leg part that extends horizontally outwardly thereof, relatively deep in the tank. At least one vertical oxidant gas injection well, placed above and in spaced relationship with the horizontal well, is placed laterally along the horizontal well approximately in the middle section thereof. An oxidizing gas is injected therein causing combustion fronts that advance from such an injection well outwards in mutually opposite directions along the horizontal well. Preferably, a plurality of injection wells are provided along the horizontal well, and an oxidizing gas is injected into each and the combustion fronts advanced outwardly and in opposite directions to each other, and the oil must drain down. in the horizontal well, which together with the hot combustion gases are carried on the surface.
