SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR UTILIZING LATE LIFE IN SITU RESERVOIRS

Strategies are provided for executing, in parallel and/or in series, methods of utilizing LLISRs. An LLISR can be used to store water, hydrocarbons (e.g., dilbit), tailings and brine. Additionally, a heat sweeping or other working fluid of water and/or hydrocarbons and/or non-hydrocarbons and/or gas...

Zusammenfassung:	Strategies are provided for executing, in parallel and/or in series, methods of utilizing LLISRs. An LLISR can be used to store water, hydrocarbons (e.g., dilbit), tailings and brine. Additionally, a heat sweeping or other working fluid of water and/or hydrocarbons and/or non-hydrocarbons and/or gas phases, with any range of additives in the solid, liquid or gas phases, can be circulated through an LLISR to recover heat remaining from thermal bitumen recovery processes. The order and selection of LLISR operations can be determined based on LLISR maturity. The LLISR can also be used for temporary water or hydrocarbon storage, and subsequently used for disposal of wastewater, brine and/or tailings. An integrated strategy can in part include a method of storing water in an LLISR.
