The vapour extraction process (VAPEX) is similar to SAGD [Steam Assisted gravity Drainage] in that gravity drainage is the drive mechanism and a pair of horizontal wells are used for injection and production. Instead of steam, VAPEX involves injecting solvent, which diffuses into the bitumen and results in significant viscosity reduction. 1, record 6, English, - vapour%20extraction%20process

An interesting variation of the SAGD process is outlined by Jha et al. wherein the vapor of light hydrocarbons rather than steam is injected. The result is an efficient non-thermal vapor extraction (VAPEX) process. The diluted heavy oil then drains by gravity to the horizontal production well and in the process is substantially upgraded by the precipitation of asphaltenes. 5, record 7, English, - VAPEX%20process
