Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure relates to, according to some embodiments, an extraction process for recovering oil from an oil reservoir comprising mobile water. The extraction process includes the step of injecting a first solvent into the oil reservoir through the at least one injection well to form a first mixture, the first mixture comprising the first solvent, a first portion of mobile water, and a first portion of oil, Additionally, the extraction process includes the steps of recovering the first mixture from the at least one production well to produce a first recovered oil mixture, the first recovered oil mixture comprising the first solvent, the first portion of the mobile water, and the first portion of oil; separating the first recovered oil mixture to produce a first recovered oil fraction that is separated from the first portion of mobile water and the first solvent; and injecting a second solvent into the oil reservoir through the at least one injection well to form a second mixture, the second mixture
