Abstract

Metodología modificada de recuperación de hidrocarburos in situ, de una formación subterránea que contiene hidrocarburos. Se cuenta con un pozo de producción en forma de "L", con una sección superior vertical y un soporte inferior que se extiende en sentido horizontal ubicado bajo la formación del hidrocarburo. El soporte horizontal se conecta con la sección vertical del pozo de producción por la sección trasera; tiene además una sección frontal en el extremo opuesto. Se inyecta un gas oxidante en la formación cercana a la sección vertical del pozo de producción. Se crea un frente de combustión vertical que desde esa posición, produce un barrido exterior y en sentido lateral dentro de la formación sobre el soporte horizontal, esto es, desde atrás hacia delante del soporte horizontal, haciendo que los hidrocarburos de la formación que se encuentran sobre el soporte horizontal mejoren su calidad y se licuen, y en adelante drenen hacia abajo dentro del soporte horizontal permeable, donde dichos hidrocarburos licuados son luego enviados a la superficie a través de la tubería de producción. Se inyecta un gas no-oxidante en la sección trasera del soporte horizontal a través de la tubería de inyección ubicada dentro de la sección vertical del pozo de producción. Algunos de los beneficios de la metodología modificada de recuperación in situ incluyen la reducción de costos y la mitigación del impacto ambiental.Modified methodology for the recovery of hydrocarbons in situ, from an underground formation containing hydrocarbons. It has a production pit in the form of "L", with a vertical upper section and a lower support that extends horizontally located under the formation of the hydrocarbon. The horizontal support is connected to the vertical section of the production well by the rear section; It also has a front section at the opposite end. An oxidizing gas is injected into the formation near the vertical section of the production well. A vertical combustion front is created which, from that position, produces an external sweep and laterally within the formation on the horizontal support, that is, from behind to the front of the horizontal support, causing the formation hydrocarbons to be found. on the horizontal support improve their quality and liquefy, and from then on they drain down into the permeable horizontal support, where said liquefied hydrocarbons are then sent to the surface through the production pipe. A non-oxidizing gas is injected into the rear section of the horizontal support through the injection pipe located within the vertical section of the production well. Some of the benefits of the modified on-site recovery methodology include cost reduction and environmental impact mitigation.
