Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2692939A1] There is described thermal hydrocarbon recovery apparatus for thermal recovery of hydrocarbons from a geological formation and an associated method. In an embodiment, the apparatus may be provided with inflow control devices for autonomously adjusting a flow of fluid through the flow control device. The flow control devices are provided to tubing, which is located in a wellbore in use and provides fluid connection between the geological formation and an inside of the tubing. The tubing is arranged to perform at least one of: injecting steam into the geological formation for heating hydrocarbons; and moving steam heated hydrocarbons from the geological formation to the surface.
