Abstract
Un procédé et des systèmes destinés à améliorer la récupération à partir dun réservoir dhydrocarbures sont décrits. Un procédé comprend la détermination dun intervalle dans le réservoir qui comprend une qualité de réservoir réduite, lintervalle comprenant des hydrocarbures. Une chambre de production est formée dans un intervalle de réservoir sous lintervalle de qualité de réservoir réduite, la chambre de production étant en contact avec lintervalle de qualité de réservoir réduite. Les hydrocarbures sont mobilisés dans lintervalle de qualité de réservoir réduite par contact avec un agent de mobilisation et une pression est modifiée dans ledit intervalle pour permettre lécoulement des hydrocarbures à partir de ce dernier.
