| 20090188661 | GRAVITY DRAINAGE APPARATUS - A hydrocarbon production apparatus comprises an injection well, perforated casing, hydrocarbon viscosity reducing fluid injection tubing, a first wellbore restrictor, and a production well. The injection well is bored above the production well within a hydrocarbon reservoir below a ground surface. The injection well comprises a heel end and a toe end. The perforated casing is positioned along a length of the injection well. The hydrocarbon viscosity reducing fluid injection tubing is disposed within the injection well and has a hydrocarbon viscosity reducing fluid injection end. The first wellbore restrictor is transversely disposed within the perforated casing to control hydrocarbon viscosity reducing fluid flow along the injection well, the first wellbore restrictor being spaced closer to the toe end of the injection well than the hydrocarbon viscosity reducing fluid injection end of the hydrocarbon viscosity reducing fluid injection tubing is to the toe end. The first wellbore restrictor is movable through the injection well under control from the ground surface. This apparatus allows the propagation of, for example, the steam chamber in a steam assisted gravity drainage operation to be precisely controllable and adjustable, in order to more efficiently produce hydrocarbons from the hydrocarbon reservoir. | 07-30-2009 |
