The pressure at which cold water is initially injectable into an oil sand formation is determined. In the practice of steam-assisted gravity drainage in that formation, steam is injected at a pressure greater than the cold water initial injectivity pressure but no more than 1500 kPa grater than that pressure.
La pression à laquelle l'eau froide est initialement injectable dans une formation de sable pétrolifère est déterminée. Dans la pratique de vapeur pour procédé de drainage gravitaire dans cette formation, on injecte de la vapeur à une pression supérieure à la pression de l'injectivité initiale de l'eau froide, mais sans excéder 1500 kPa de plus que cette pression.
