Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010028917A1] As an addition to the known SAGD method, it has already been proposed for the deposit to be heated electrically, in particular inductively. For this purpose, an electrotechnical infrastructure is necessary. According to the invention, the energy for producing the steam and for the electrical heating is generated in situ, for which purpose some of the extracted bitumen and/or ultra-heavy oil is burned in an industrial turbine (1, 11) with a downstream generator (2) coupled to the turbine (1, 11). The industrial turbine may be a gas turbine (1) or a steam turbine (11). In particular, the industrial turbine (1, 11) with the downstream generator (2) is assigned a heat recovery steam generator (16), which serves for producing the steam and consequently takes the form of a boiler. Interim storage of the bitumen and/or ultra-heavy oil produced allows a self-contained circuit to be created, operating autonomously, independently of any external energy supply, with about 20% of the extracted bitumen and/or ultra-heavy oil for extraction.
