Patent

CA 2666506

The present invention relates generally to a method and means of collecting oil from a reservoir overlying a water aquifer or basement rock using a manned tunnel. A manned tunnel is used as a physical barrier to intercept oil and water flowing downward along a formation dip and to preferentially collect the oil or the water through a series of collector stations. This method can be used for oil spill clean-ups or for hydrocarbon recovery in appropriate reservoirs.

L'invention concerne de manière générale un procédé et des moyens pour collecter du pétrole à partir d'un réservoir recouvrant une roche aquifère de sous-bassement en utilisant un tunnel pilote. Un tunnel pilote est utilisé en tant que barrière physique pour arrêter le pétrole et l'eau s'écoulant vers le bas le long d'une inclinaison, et pour collecter préférentiellement le pétrole ou l'eau à travers une série de stations de collecte. Ce procédé peut être utilisé pour le nettoyage de déversement de pétrole, ou pour la récupération d'hydrocarbures dans des réservoirs appropriés.
