Combustion Override Split Production Horizontal Well Process (COSH). The main feature of this process, developed by the Alberta Research Council (ARC), is implementation of gravity drainage using a basal horizontal well in a combustion process. The configuration of different wells is critical to the operation of this process. A linear configuration of vertical air injection wells is drilled and completed in the upper portion of the reservoir. A horizontal oil production well is completed in the bottom of the reservoir, aligned and positioned beneath the vertical injection wells. The reservoir is prepared for ignition and combustion is initiated at each of the injection wells. A hot fluid-transmissive chamber is formed around each of the injection wells as combustion proceeds. Combustion gas communication is established with the gas production wells. Heated oil and water, produced by the combustion front in each hot chamber, drains under the effect of gravity and is brought to the surface through the horizontal production well. 3, record 2, English, - combustion%20override%20split%20production%20horizontal%20well%20process

Ce procédé est fondé sur le principe de la combustion in-situ par injection d’air. L'allumage de l'air provoque la combustion de l'oxygène contenu dans l'air au contact de l'huile qui, elle, est oxydée. Par rapport à un procédé conventionnel de combustion où le front de combustion se propage entre deux puits distants horizontalement de plusieurs dizaines de mètres, l'idée proposée ici est de voir se créer un front de combustion qui se propage de haut en bas dans un réservoir entre un puits vertical situé en haut du réservoir dans la couche imprégnée d’huile et un puits horizontal situé en bas du réservoir. L'air étant composé d’azote et l'oxygène, quand la combustion a lieu, elle a pour effet de voir disparaître l'oxygène qui réagit avec l'huile pour donner une huile oxydée, du CO2 et de l'eau. Reste l'azote qui par gravité va rester sous forme de chapeau de gaz(ou «gas cap») dans la partie supérieure du réservoir. Pour évacuer cet azote et éviter qu'il ne fasse cesser la combustion, il est proposé de le produire par des puits verticaux situés latéralement par rapport aux deux puits déjà cités. Ce procédé a été testé au laboratoire mais n’ a pas été validé sur champ.

Les différentes techniques de production de brut lourd peuvent être soit du type «primaire» soit du type «amélioré». Suivant les caractéristiques de l’huile et de la roche réservoir l’une ou l’autre sera employée. La production primaire [...] est envisageable pour les huiles lourdes grâce à la technologie dite du «puits horizontal». Cette technique permet en effet d’améliorer considérablement la productivité d’un puits et d’augmenter le taux de récupération ultime. Elle est utilisée au Venezuela pour produire «à froid» (sans réchauffage de l’huile) les bruts extra-lourds de l’Orénoque de façon rentable.

Toe To Heel Water Flooding: An Effective Short Distance Oil Displacement Process for Light Heavy Oil Reservoirs. ... Wascana Energy Inc. and Alberta Research Council invite you to attend an information session to describe the Toe-To-Heel Waterflooding (TTHW) process. ... Background With the advent of horizontal wells in Improved Oil Recovery of heavy oils, a change is taking place in the approach to improved recovery of oil. Currently, there is a move from displacing oil in a flood pattern from injector to producers over long distances (of the order of hundreds of meters) to short-distance oil displacement (SDOD) processes (typically over a few meters). Due to the high viscosity of heavy oil, the displacement to producers located long distance away tends to make waterflooding inappropriate. Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage, Vapor Extraction and Toe-To-Heel Displacement Processes (TTHDP) belong to the SDOD processes. TTHDP can be applied as a non-thermal recovery technology, such as Toe-To-Heel Waterflooding or as a thermal technology such as Toe-To-Heel Steamflooding and Toe-To-Heel Air Injection. More than 17 laboratory tests of Toe-To-Heel Waterflooding (TTHW) showed that this process will provide good results for lighter heavy oil reservoirs (with viscosity less than 1200 mPas). Hele Shaw model tests indicated ultimate recovery factors substantially higher for the TTHW, when compared to conventional waterflooding using vertical wells. 2, record 6, English, - toe%2Dto%2Dheel%20combustion

Le procédé qui est connu est le «toe-to-heel air injection» ou THAI. Le principe de ce procédé, d’après ses inventeurs, est le suivant : Il s’agit de forer un puits vertical dont la section dans le réservoir imprégné d’huile lourde est proche de l’extrémité («toe») d’un puits horizontal. De l’air est injecté dans le puits vertical équipé d’un système d’allumage qui provoque une combustion de l’oxygène contenu dans l’air injecté au contact de l’huile. Un front de combustion se propage alors perpendiculairement au puits horizontal, donc vers l’autre extrémité de ce puits («heel»), d’où la dénomination «toe-to-heel». D’après les inventeurs du procédé, l’huile réchauffée au niveau du front de combustion s’écoule vers le bas en direction du puits horizontal sous l’action de la gravité et est récupérée vers la surface. Une interrogation subsiste concernant la percée probable de l’air injecté dans ce puits horizontal qui aurait pour résultat de provoquer un arrêt du front de combustion. Seul un essai pilote sur champ permettrait de valider ce procédé.

Les procédés thermiques [de récupération assistée] sont appliqués dans le cas d’huiles lourdes, trop visqueuses pour être déplacées par les procédés classiques d’injection d’eau ou de gaz; il existe principalement deux méthodes : l'injection de vapeur et la combustion in situ. Dans la première, on injecte sous pression de la vapeur d’eau qui, en se condensant dans le gisement, en élève la température et réduit ainsi la viscosité de l'huile. L'injection de vapeur peut avoir lieu de façon cyclique [et] peut aussi s’effectuer de façon continue. 5, record 13, French, - injection%20de%20vapeur
